CONCEPT OF SMART: I will start with a quote, What is smart today will be

considered
common tomorrow.
The word Smart is therefore a relative rather than an
absolute term.
To be smart in business is to be
smarter than the competitors just as an athlete who is considered fast
means is faster than the others.
DEFINITION: Smart Business Networks (SBNs) are defined as networks of
organizations
coordinating their business processes in a manner that exhibits adaptive,
agile and robust behavior
Adaptability is one key element of
Smart Business Networks
SBNs are dynamic by design and by necessity

A SBN is agile and can change and reconfigure over time both within
its existing structure (design and governance) as well as into a new structure
(design and governance).
