Overview: This paper develops a co-evolutionary model at the industry level by highlighting the interplay between increased strategic outsourcing and the rise of shared supplier networks. To do so it explores a case where increased strategic outsourcing by groups of lead firms has, over time, led to the rise of a shared supplier network, one that can be accessed by the industry as a whole, even by lead firms that compete head-to-head in final product markets. Based on a scope-linkage framework, and a dynamic view of inter-organizational transactions, it seeks to expose the key organizational logic that underpins the changing patterns of inter-firm collaboration observed in the electronics industry.
