Inter-Organisational Relationships as a Complex Adaptive System

Abstract

Accounting literature on control of inter-organisational relationships is largely focused on developing control archetypes and exploring contingency relationships between characteristics of the transaction environment and management controls. To date, however, findings are inconclusive if not contradictory (Caglio and Ditillo, 2008), suggesting that richness of the underlying control phenomena is yet to be adequately uncovered. Further, the relationship between transaction environment and controls is often seen as static and linear (Caglio and Ditillo, 2008) with resulting calls to examine ‘dynamic relationships between variables over time’ (Dekker, 2008, p. 938).
