Wow... I really appreciate your, and Tim Young's support. It means
_a_lot_ to me!

I agree, and in fact Dan 2:44-45 and Mt 28:18-20 are my main sources
of motivation for all this.

Yes... much of what I have read is IMO pretty far off the mark though.
Worthwhile sources of inspiration include http://www.whwd.org/ (that
in fact is the source for the article by Doug Perry which I posted in
the initial message of this thread) and this paper:
Seung Ho Park, Gerardo R. Ungson: Interfirm rivalry and managerial
complexity: A conceptual framework of alliance failure.
In: Organization Science: A journal of the Institute of Management
Sciemnces Jan/Feb 2001, Vol.12, Issue 1, pp37-53.
> have you written sources on this?
Not really, but I'm working on a paper "Economic Networks, Temptations
of Greed, and Business Process Integration via Webservice Protocols"
which should be finished by end-January (because that's the submission
deadline for a conference where I plan to submit it)... I'll of course
be happy to send you a copy. :-)
Blessings and greetings,
Norbert.
