They received the award for the best research paper presented at the I-ESA ’14 conference. The communication titled “Computing the strategies alignment in Collaborative Networks” was presented in the area of “Business Interoperability”. The article presents special relevance in the context of research on collaborative networks of companies, allowing collaborative networks to be modeled generically considering the objectives and strategies defined by the companies that form it, which allows identifying the influence that the strategies defined by a company of the network have on the objectives that are defined in the rest of the companies that are part of the collaborative network.

The proposed model allows researchers and professionals to identify which strategies are aligned among those defined by the companies that make up the network. This allows improving the objectives of the companies and consequently the performance of the network to which they belong.

Communication is within the field of study of the iNet•IMS Intellygent Non-Hierarchical Networks initiative.

This recognition highlights, once again, the quality of the research being developed at the Production Management and Engineering Research Center (CIGIP) on the Alcoi Campus of the UPV.
