Context: Cluster of the metalworking sector located in North-East Italy, involving several business networks, including one of companies specialized in surface treatment of materials.

Constant presence in the companies of the network.
Choice of a Manager with skills complementary to the ownership and individual entrepreneurs for managing possible conflicts and any internal misalignments, in order to improve synergies, the cohesion of the Network, and consequently its productivity.
