Limiting the pace and efficiency at which they can do so impedes their ability to innovate and challenge leading firms. I explore these ideas ...

This paper shifts the focus toward examining how cooperation is maintained in the face of potentially disruptive forces. To advance theory, research, and practice on how to ma...
