Extended enterprise

An extended enterprise is a loosely coupled, self-organizing network of firms that combine their economic output to provide products and services offerings to the market. Firms in the extended enterprise may operate independently, for example, through market mechanisms, or cooperatively through agreements and contracts. They provide value added service or product to the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). Recently, the notion of extended enterprise has been updated by Alguezaui and Filieri (2014) who have reconceptualized the extended enterprise in the knowledge economy.
