The logic is that one specific form of network design, operationalized here as the form of network governance, is better than another for accomplishing a particular type of task. Second, we describe our research methodology for examining this basic contingency argument. Third, after developing a typology of network-level tasks based on what we found in the empirical literature, we analyze whether there is a relationship between the main forms of network governance and network-level tasks. Finally, we discuss the consequences of our findings.
