摘　　要：价值创造的场所已由单个组织转向网络、生态系统或平台,企业亟须有目的地构建和管理外部依赖关系。网络编排作为确保外部资源有利分配进而创造并获取价值的理论,有助于理解枢纽组织从网络中创造价值和提取价值时采取的一系列有意识、有目的的行动。但当前相关研究处于初期探索阶段,研究主题相当分散,尚未形成成熟的理论体系。本文通过梳理网络编排理论的起源、发展脉络和最新研究成果,系统阐述了其内涵和外延。还根据网络编排相关研究提炼出编排要素的含义、作用和相互关系,建立网络编排理论的逻辑框架,为未来研究的理论定位、研究方向和研究范围等提供基本依据。此外,本文基于中国国情和所处的复杂国际环境,提出目前的研究缺口和亟须解决的问题,并建议从网络编排与企业家、资源和战略的交叉领域出发,为未来企业的网络编排研究提供指引。The locus of value creation has shifted from individual organisations to networks,ecosystems and platforms,and there is an urgent need for organisations to purposefully structure and manage external dependencies.Network orchestration,as a theory for ensuring the beneficial allocation of external resources and thus creating and capturing value,helps to understand the se-ries of conscious and purposeful actions that organisations take to create and extract value from their networks.Yet,current re-search is at an early stage of exploration,the research themes are rather scattered,and no systematic theoretical framework has been developed.Through a review on the relevant literature,we found that existing research on network orchestration focuses on four orchestra-tion elements:Orchestrator,orchestration model,orchestration mechanism and orchestration function.By defining the connotation,role and interrelationship of the four orchestration elements,we constructed a framework on network orchestration,which takes“or-chestrator”as the starting point and covers“orchestrators-orchestrator roles-orchestration processes(orchestration models,mecha-nisms,and functions)-network value outputs”.The logical framework clarifies the hierarchical position of the existing network orchestration elements and establishes a hierarchical relationship between the existing orchestrator and the orchestration process.Fi-nally,we discuss future research opportunities in terms of network orchestration and strategy.The study makes three main contributions:First,it establishes a connection between orchestrator and the orchestration process,forming a traceable theoretical system and clarifying the hierarchical relationships between existing studies.Second,it provides a set of practical orchestration practices for firms to follow in forming and developing their networks in the future.Third,it provides a ground for Chinese scholars to understand the network orchestration literature and its future trends.
