Central characteristics of the network vectors
| Vector | Actor-activity | Actor-resource | Activity-resource |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main feature | Division of work | Resource exploitation | Operational efficiency |
| Main issue | Allocation of activities to actors | Resource combining and control | Allocation of activities to resources |
| Modifications of the action base to improve conditions | Activities are moved between actors through outsourcing/insourcing to improve performance | The division between internal and external resources is changed to improve effectiveness | Activities are moved between resources to increase efficiency of individual activities |
| Consequences for the action base | Affects the linking of activities and their synchronization. Affects the need for joint coordination across corporate boundaries | Affects the ties between individual resources (interfaces). Affects the need for joint and collaborative use of resources | Affects the connections between activity links and resource ties. Affects actor bonds by requiring increasing interaction |
