Abstract

“Orchestration” describes activities of the lead firm in a Value Chain, where lead firm may not undertake any transformation of the tangible product.

We find quality of discovery capabilities now available with digital technologies enable SMEs greater identification and access to global resources in smaller discrete transactions, without upfront capital cost required to acquire those resources.
