Work

Håkansson's research interests are in the field of "inter-organisational business relationships and business networks with particular focus on innovation and economic development."

Business networks

The central concept in the theory of business networks is the network concept. Håkansson and Snehota (1995) defined this as follows:

A network has no clear boundaries, nor any centre or apex. It exists as an ‘organization’ in terms of a certain logic affecting the ordering of activities, resources and actors.

Business networks evolve over time, according to Håkansson and Ford (2002):

The history of a business network is the process through which time and money have been devoted to build, adapt, develop, understand, relate and combine different human and physical resources together.
