“…In some instances, this can be a good thing for organisational performance; budget constraints have been a direct catalyst for sharing public service provision or public policy problem-solving (Guo and Acar 2005). However, normally, budget pressures deter making information and decision-making more open because public managers fear a loss of autonomy, coordination costs, reduced accountability, and management complexity (Ganapati and Reddick 2014;O'Leary and Bingham 2007;Provan and Lemaire 2012).…”

Public organisations are often described as being subject to types of complexity that result from the interorganisational structure of governance networks. Transparency programmes add another level of complexity due to increased information openness. However, neither the nature of this complexity nor the network management approaches needed for transparency programmes has been conceptually developed. To address this gap, this article brings together governance complexity theory and knowledge management theory. An empirical model is tested using the case of police open data with regression analysis and 22 expert interviews. The results show that institutional and environmental complexity such as budget pressures, legal-normative constraints, and task complexity exert a negative influence on police information openness. However, network knowledge management practices including developing mission focus on people and communication and overcoming organisational boundaries through interorganisational collaboration can counteract these problems of complexity.

“…This can be done by establishing collaboration between one institution with another. Collaboration helps in eliminating duplication of function and subsequently reduce costs (Guo & Acar, 2005). Waqf institutions can collaborate with the institutions who have the same objectives or having the resources that they can share and utilize.…”

“…Network denotes how well an organization manages its relationship with other parties and forms a reputation for trustworthiness and excellence within the network (Lee & Nowell, 2015). This includes collaborating with other organizations which helps to reduce cost and duplication of efforts (Guo & Acar, 2005).…”

Waqf is viewed as one of the potential mechanisms to stimulate the economic and social development of the society. However, despite the great contributions from waqf, the potential and benefits of waqf have not been fully capitalised. Acknowledging such issue, there is a need for the institutions responsible to manage waqf assets to enhance their performance in fulfilling their accountability towards relevant stakeholders, consistent with maqasid waqf perspective. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the indicators of performance measurement for waqf institutions based on the non-profit organization, given some similarity to non-profit organizations, and maqasid waqf perspectives. To achieve the research objective, this study will conduct two stages of data collection and analysis: reviews of the literature and semi-structured interview with waqf managers and Islamic scholar. The outcome of the study will be in the form of a proposed performance measurement model, in line with maqasid waqf that can be adapted by waqf institutions in assessing their performance as well as discharging their accountability and enhancing the value creation of waqf assets for the Ummah.

“…In addition, large organizations, which employ more people than small companies and have greater competitive strength in sales or market share, are likely to be more powerful than small organizations (Aldrich, 1976). Guo and Acar (2005) argue that larger organizations with sufficient resources, as indicated by their larger size and annual budget, are less inclined to cooperate. Skinner, Donnelly and Ivancevich (1987) argue that in networks of manufacturers and dealers, the manufacturers are more dependent on dealers to distribute their products when they are larger resellers.…”

Sistema de avaliação: às cegas dupla (double blind review ABSTRACTPurpose: The purpose of this paper is to depict a theoretical proposal for analyzing the influence of three facets of an organization's dependence on the survival of interorganizational networks: on the environment, on the other members and on the network. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: This paper assists business leaders in showing the dependence tensions of enterprises on the market and networks. The understanding of relational changes and benefits provided by the network during its evolution also has an impact on enterprises' dependency. This paper is therefore original as it makes the contribution essential to a nascent stream of research. Key methodological aspects:The conceptualization of this study is based on the Resource Dependence Theory to direct network survival. The methodology of the paper is based on a theoretical essay for the formation of an analytical background of the subject. It presents an insight in a manner that sheds light on the subject and sets the stage for future research. Summary of key results: Does not apply. In this article, we did not make an empirical investigation. Key considerations/conclusions: The conceptualization of this study has been based solely on the Resource Dependency Theory to direct network survival. Furthermore, additional research is needed to empirically validate the framework.
