Sosyal ağ teorisinde, insan ve insan olmayan varlıkların bir ağ düzeneği içerisindeki ilişki ve bağlantılarının örgütlerin performanslarında olumlu fark yaratabildikleri akademik yazında üzerinde önemle durulan konulardan biridir. Bu çalışma, örgüt teorisi literatüründe ağ düzenekleri içerisine yerleşmiş örgütlerin, bu ağ düzenekleri dışındaki örgütlerin sahip olamayacağı kaynak ve bilgilere ulaşabileceği konuları üzerine literatürdeki tartışmalara odaklanmaktadır. Literatürde, ne tür örgütler arası ağların mevcut olduğu ve örgütlerin bu ağlara katılma nedenleri hakkındaki tartışmaları tespit etmek ve aynı zamanda ilgili alan yazınına anlamlı bir katkı sunmak amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla, belirli bir tarih aralığında ve kasti örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen uluslararası akademik dergilerdeki örgütler arası ağların stratejik önemi konusundaki tartışmalar bir arada tablo şeklinde, mevcut tartışma konularının ve ulaşılan bulguların tespit edilmesi yoluyla, literatürdeki tartışmalar ışığında sunulmuştur. Çalışmada konu hakkındaki literatürdeki tartışmalar ortaya konulmuştur. Bu çalışmada konu ile ilgili yorum yapmak ve yeni sentezlere ulaşmak için literatür taramasından elde edilen sonuçlar kronolojik olarak sıralanmış ve bir tabloda birleştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada konu ile ilgili kaynaklar gözden geçirilerek, çeşitli görüş ve tutumlara yer verilmiştir. Bu makalede literatür taraması yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Literatür taramasıyla, örgütler arası ağlar konusundaki tartışmaların incelenmesi sonucunda, ilgili kaynakların gözden geçirilmesi, görüşler, tutumlar ve betimlemelerin bulunması sağlanmıştır. Farklı kişilerin aynı konu hakkındaki tartışma konularına ve bulgularına yer verilmiştir. Bu çalışma, örgütsel ağlara dair literatürdeki ağ konusundaki kasti örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen bazı akademik makalelerdeki temel tartışma konularını ve temel bulgularını anlamak için literatüre teorik bir çerçevede katkıda bulunur. Yapılan literatür taraması sonucunda, örgütler arası ağların stratejik önemi konusunun yaygın bir tartışma alanı olduğu görülmüştür.

Öz

In social network theory, it is one of the issues that are emphasized in the academic literature that the relationships and connections of human and non-human beings within a network mechanism can make a positive difference in the performance of organizations. This study focuses on the discussions in the literature on the issues in which organizations located in network mechanisms can access resources and information that organizations outside of these network mechanisms cannot have in the literature of organization theory. In the literature, it is aimed to identify the debates about what kind of inter-organizational networks exist and the reasons for organizations to join these networks, and also to make a meaningful contribution to the relevant literature. For this purpose, the discussions on the strategic importance of inter-organizational networks in international academic journals selected with the deliberate sampling method in a certain date range are presented in the form of a table, in the light of the discussions in the literature, by determining the current discussion topics and the findings reached. In the study, the discussions in the literature on the subject were revealed. In this study, the results obtained from the literature review were arranged chronologically and combined in a table in order to comment on the subject and reach new syntheses. In this study, various opinions and attitudes are included by reviewing the sources related to the subject. In this article, literature review method was used. As a result of examining the discussions on inter-organizational networks with the literature review, it was ensured that the relevant sources were reviewed, opinions, attitudes and descriptions were found. Discussion topics and findings of different people on the same subject are included. This study contributes to the literature in a theoretical framework in order to understand the main discussion topics and main findings in some academic articles selected by the deliberate sampling method on the network in the literature on organizational networks.
