Towards an exogenous theory of public network performance 

 - Malden :  Wiley-Blackwell,  September 2009 
<br/><br/> This article offers insights into the complexity of assessing the performance of public networks. We have identified three so-called exogenous factors: form of the network, type of inception—whether the network was initially formed as voluntary or mandated—and developmental stage of the network. We argue that where a network stands on each of these factors will determine the appropriateness of specific criteria for assessing the performance of the network.
