To keep a business network sustainable, controls are needed against opportunistic behavior of network participants. In this paper we present a methodology for understanding control problems and designing solutions, based on an economic value perspective. The methodology employs a library of so-called control patterns, inspired by design patterns in software engineering. A control pattern is considered as a generic solution for a common control problem. The adequacy and effectiveness of these control patterns is demonstrated by a case study about the redesign of customs procedures.
