Abstract (EN): This paper proposes a social networking perspective on the e-manufacturing area. A short justification of the social network-perspective as applied to manufacturing organizations is made, focusing on methods and theoretical approaches. Then, it is speculated how social networking can be a paradigm for the management of networks of manufacturing enterprises. The management relationship (fostering collaboration and cooperation) and their support through new information systems architectures are the key issues. Finally, some research directions are discussed, focussing on new engineering paradigms.
