The theme for this part is the challenges in organizing business relationships when moving into increased complexity. Therefore, the following subthemes are addressed:

  • (2)

    How to develop enduring operations when managing a variety of solution-oriented business? This is addressed from a conceptual point of departure (Chapter 13).

  • (3)

    How to manage several businesses with diverging requests of organizational support? This is also foremost a conceptual discussion (Chapter 14).
