Abstract
The purpose of the tool is to provide the guidelines for evaluation of network relationships. It helps networked parties to focus on the essential relationship factors when the aim of the focal company is to reduce the need for control. The tool maps the level of relational factors in order to evaluate the potentiality for increasing self-direction between network parties and decrease the need for the focal company’s control. Together, the relational factors including both relational properties and relational behavior aspects form a platform that enables or restricts self-direction. The tool has been developed and tested in a case where the focal company was in need to decrease the control of its supply network and to secure its suppliers’ common cooperation capability.
