The paradigm of neoclassical economics is based mainly on the investigations of production andconsumption. However, the organization of exchange is also of great scientific interest, the study of which isimpossible without the analysis of contractual agreements on the transfer of ownership of assets. The articleconsiders the forms of contractual management of network business structures, which are used by exchangeparticipants in conditions of uncertainty as an alternative mechanism of adaptation to the externalenvironment through the market (classical contracting) and integrated management (vertical and horizontalintegration). For the first time, the types of formal relational network contracts and mechanisms forminimizing uncertainty, which regulate the exchange between participants in network business structures,have been identified. An in-depth analysis of uncertainty and the use of various forms of network businessstructures as a mechanism to minimize uncertainty and the transaction costs provoked by it, opens wideopportunities for economic growth of individual companies and the economy as a whole. After all,uncertainty creates risks of non-fulfillment of agreements due to both subjective and objective factors.Transaction costs reflect such uncertainty by including a risk premium, the amount of which depends on theprobability of default, and, accordingly, the occurrence of additional costs for one or both parties.The main conditions of uncertainty have been described, which allow managers, decision-makers todraw conclusions about the feasibility of forming network business structures as the most effective and leasttransactionally costly management structures in conditions of uncertainty.The separation of network business structures as separate alternative mechanisms of exchangealong with the market and the firm, poses a scientific task to assess the effectiveness and development ofnot a single company but a group of economic entities that form network business structures or evenindustries as a single management system and production.
