Establishing and managing a network of outsourced providers can be likened to the development of an inter-organizational community of practice (CoP). In a CoP, groups of people interact, often across organizational boundaries (Zboralski and Gemünden, 2006), so as to deepen their knowledge and share their expertise about a set of problems (Wenger et al.,2002). Scarso and Bolisani (2008) identify what they term the four pillars of a CoP in its organizational, cog¬nitive, economic, and technological dimensions. The organizational dimension concerns relationships and roles within the CoP as well as between the CoP and the rest of its environment, while the cognitive dimension deals with the specific knowledge domain that is the focus of the CoP. The economic dimension concerns benefits, costs, and performance, and the technological dimension encompasses the CoP’s enabling technologies.
