摘要

This article presents the results of a comparative study of two networks of small- to medium-sized manufacturing enterprises in the U.S. wood products industry. Qualitative and survey data were collected from a sample of active participants in each network as well as from a sample of firms that were not network members (market firms) in the same industry. Using both qualitative and network analysis methodologies, we developed a model and testable propositions concerning key aspects of network structure and outcomes.
