“…The emergence and formation of ties among organizational actors attributable to both organizational and individual characteristics is at the core of interorganizational networks' formation whose ties are usually created by ''boundary spanners'' [49]. The rationale behind tie and subsequent network formation can be traced from organizational objectives, management vision for organizational development, and specific strategies necessary to improve firm competitiveness in rapidly changing environments [50].…”

We analyze the global pharmaceutical industry network using a unique database that covers strategic transactions (i.e., alliance, financing and acquisition collaborations) for the top 90 global pharmaceutical firms and their ego-network partnerships totaling 4735 members during 1991À2012. The article explores insights on dynamic embeddedness analysis under network perturbations by exploring core and full networks' behavior during the global financial crisis of 2007À2008 and the subsequent global and Eurozone recessions of 2009À2012. We introduce and test literature grounded hypotheses as well as report network visualizations and nonparametric tests that reveal important discrepancies in both network types before and after the financial crisis offset. We observe that firms in core and full networks behave differently, with smaller top pharmaceutical firms of core networks particularly being affected by the crises, potentially due to a collaboration reduction with bigger top pharmaceuticals. On the other hand, big pharmaceuticals in full networks maintain their centrality position as a possible consequence of their strategic collaborations not only with other similarly sized firms but also due to their connections with subsidiaries and other private entities present in the total sample. Our results confirm the significant dynamicity reduction during financial crisis and recession periods for core and full networks, and highlight the importance that exogenous factors as well as network types play in centrality-based dynamic longitudinal network analysis.

“…The model builds on previous research on organisational information flow such as [20], [21], dynamic process models such as [26], [27], and models that combine aspects of process and organisation architecture such as [4], [33]- [36], providing altogether an improved analytical understanding of the dynamic information flow through activities by process stages. In order to quantify information flow changes at the activity and project level, this paper introduces the use of network centrality and clustering metrics that provides a consistent and replicable platform for analysis.…”

ABSTRACT:The pattern of information flow through the network of interdependent design activities is thought to be an important determinant of engineering design process results. A previously unexplored aspect of such patterns relates to the temporal dynamics of information transfer between activities as those activities are implemented through the network of people executing the project. To address this gap, we develop a dynamic modelling method that integrates both the network of people and the network of activities in the project. We then employ a large dataset collected from an industrial setting, consisting of project-related e-mails and activity records from the design and development of a renewable energy plant over the course of more than three years. Using network metrics for centrality and clustering, we make three important contributions: 1. We demonstrate a novel method for analysing information flows between activities in complex engineering design projects. 2. We show how the network of information flows in a large-scale engineering project evolved over time and how network analysis yields several managerial insights. 3. We provide a useful new representation of the engineering design process and thus support theory-building towards the evolution of information flows through systems engineering stages. Implications include guidance on how to analyse and predict information flows as well as better planning of information flows in engineering design projects according to their individual stage and activity characteristics.
