• Dynamics of social capital and their performance implications: Lessons from biotechnology start-ups AI翻译
  作者：Maurer, Indre; Ebers, Mark
  作者单位：University of Cologne
  摘要：Based on comparative longitudinal case analyses of six new biotechnology firms, this paper explores how the configuration, management, and evolution of entrepreneurial firms' social capital affect firm performance. Findings suggest that firms can realize performance benefits when their members repeatedly adapt the configuration of their social capital to changing resource needs, while inertia turns a firm's social capital into a liability. Our research provides a dynamic view of the conditions...
• Network structure and knowledge transfer: The effects of cohesion and range AI翻译

  摘要：This research considers how different features of informal networks affect knowledge transfer. As a complement to previous research that has emphasized the dyadic tie strength component of informal networks, we focus on how network structure influences the knowledge transfer process. We propose that social cohesion around a relationship affects the willingness and motivation of individuals to invest time, energy, and effort in sharing knowledge with others. We further argue that the network ra...

• Competition in multiple geographic markets: The impact on growth and market entry AI翻译

  摘要：We investigate the impact of contact between organizations in multiple geographic markets, focusing on two competitive behaviors: growth in current markets and entry into new markets. Drawing on sociological and economic theories, we propose that the extent of multimarket contact determines the level of competition experienced by a focal organization and therefore influences its growth and market entry. We also propose that market structure, specifically the extent to which markets are dominat...
• How experience and network ties affect the influence of demographic minorities on corporate boards AI翻译

  摘要：This study examines how the influence of directors who are demographic minorities on corporate boards is contingent on the prior experience of board members and the larger social structural context in which demographic differences are embedded. We assess the effects of minority status according to functional background, industry background, education, race, and gender for a large sample of corporate outside directors at Fortune/Forbes 500 companies. The results show that (1) the prior experien...
• The social construction of organizational knowledge: A study of the uses of coercive, mimetic, and normative isomorphism AI翻译
  作者：Mizruchi, MS; Fein, LC
  作者单位：University of Michigan System; University of Michigan
  摘要：Arguing that knowledge in the social sciences is socially constructed through the selective interpretation of major works, we examine the fate of a classic article in organizational theory, DiMaggio and Powell's 1983 essay on institutional isomorphism. We show that one aspect of this article, the discussion of mimetic isomorphism, has received attention disproportionate to its role in the essay. A detailed examination of 26 articles in which researchers attempted to operationalize various comp...
• Cooperative or controlling? The effects of CEO-board relations and the content of interlocks on the formation of joint ventures AI翻译
  作者：Gulati, R; Westphal, JD
  作者单位：Northwestern University; University of Texas System; University of Texas Austin
  摘要：This study examines the influence of the social network of board interlocks on strategic alliance formation. Our theoretical framework suggests how board interlock ties to other firms can increase or decrease the likelihood of alliance formation, depending on the content of relationships between CEOs (chief executive officers) and outside directors. Results suggest that CEO-board relationships characterized by independent board control reduce the likelihood of alliance formation by prompting d...
• The circulation of corporate control: Selection of functional backgrounds of new CEOs in large US manufacturing firms, 1981-1992 AI翻译
  作者：Ocasio, W; Kim, H
  作者单位：Northwestern University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
  摘要：We develop a conceptual model of the circulation of corporate control-the instability in formal authority at the top of large corporations. According to our model, chief executive officer (CEO) selection is both a political contest for the top executive position and an ideological struggle among members of the firm's political coalition over defining the corporate agenda and strategy. We apply the model to analyze the selection of functional backgrounds of 275 new CEOs in large U.S. manufactur...
• The money center cannot hold: Commercial banks in the US system of corporate governance AI翻译
  作者：Davis, GF; Mizruchi, MS
  作者单位：University of Michigan System; University of Michigan
  摘要：This paper examines how the place of banks in the intercorporate network has changed as a result of their decreasing role as financial intermediaries in the U.S. economy. An analysis of comprehensive data on the boards of the fifty largest banks and their connections with the several hundred largest nonbank corporations from 1982 to 1994 shows that the centrality of banks has significantly declined as executives of major corporations, particularly those representing central firms, joined bank ...
