Abstract

This chapter examined the organizations of a university dealing with healthcare and clinical activities operating in an extremely complex network connection. In the framework of qualitative research, with the help of a series of interviews, the authors researched in which networks the university's healthcare organization and organizational units participate, and how participation in these networks influences the value creation implemented in each field. By what means can the organization handle the contradictions and conflicts that arise along the inter-organizational relations embedded in the networks. Interviews were conducted with institution leaders, business leaders, and care workers. Based on the research results, network complexity results in three types of conflicts in healthcare institutions: conflicts related to organizational management, conflicts arising in organizational processes, and personal conflicts.
