Excerpt from Barter in Networks: A Revived Form of Inter-Firm Exchange Firms frequently enter network type relationships such as strategic alliances and partnerships to barter difficult-to - price goods like technical know-how, market understanding, and management practices. The paper proposes that barter of difficult-to-price goods is easier to realize than a money-based exchange as long as the double coincidence of wants is given. Under such circumstances, barter requires decisions of less cognitive complexity than are necessary in the context of a money based exchange system.
