Abstract

This article contributes tests the impact of formal and informal modes of coordination on the performance of inter-organizational collaborations by analyzing the moderating effect of collaborative risks related to the extent of collaboration and dependence. The empirical study of 158 client-supplier relationships in the French automotive industry shows that collaborative structures and control practices as formal modes of coordination, and trust as an informal mode are positively associated with performance. The moderating effect of collaboration scope is significant whereas dependence has a significant effect only when firms implement dedicated collaborative structures.
