We propose a model of expanding supershells regulated by star formation which is induced in HI superclouds by similar shells from a previous evolutionary stage. Compression of pre-existing cloudlets by such shells triggers the formation of massive stars which thenexplode at the end of their evolution as supernovae. Efficiency of induced supernovae formation must be less than 1% to fit the observational properties of supershells.
