It is generally recognized that network management is a critical factor for network success. It is also acknowledged that different managerial behaviors are necessary in different network settings. Scholars have explored the relationships between network characteristics and managerial behaviors, but the role of network culture in influencing network managers’ activities remains under-investigated. The purpose of this paper is to address this gap.,The analysis is developed through a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis of 18 country-based networks involved in the same EU-funded project.,The results shed light on two different combinations of network culture types and management practices simultaneously leading to high network performance.,The paper confirms the existence of a relationship between network management and certain characteristics of the networks, in particular network culture.

成功网络中的管理和文化

通常认为，网络管理是网络成功的关键因素。还应认识到，在不同的网络设置中必须有不同的管理行为。学者们探索了网络特征与管理行为之间的关系，但是，网络文化在影响网络管理者活动中的作用仍未得到充分研究。本文旨在解决这一差距。该分析是通过模糊集定性比较分析来进行的，该定性比较分析涉及同一欧盟资助项目中的18个国家/地区网络。结果阐明了网络的两种不同组合文化类型和管理实践同时实现了较高的网络性能。，
