                         This article deals with the topical issues of formation and functioning of network structures as a special coordination mechanism, along with the reference structures: market and hierarchy. The specificity of this type of structures, different from both classic types, and hybridization of the men-tioned mechanisms.
Presents the author's point of view, the ratio of coordination struc-tures, and shows the evolutionary nature of network formation. The concep-tual hypothesis of the consideration of network structures lies in the funda-mental division into two types: dependent and independent. It is proved that network is, by definition, focal, and achieves a better coordination of eco-nomic agents on the network. Given the possibility of reducing transaction costs in the introduction of network interactions. Conclusions about the ne-cessity of building relations of economic agents within the network on the basis of a relational contract based on trust.
