Friends and Foes: The Dynamics of Dual Social Structures

After the Break-Up: The Relational and Reputational Consequences of Withdrawals from Venture Capital Syndicates

“…It also led to low variance of the dependent variable, which biases the coefficients in logit and probit models (Jensen, 2003;King & Zeng, 2001;Trapido, 2007). We then followed standard practice by taking a random sample of the unrealized dyad years to achieve a 5:1 ratio of realized to unrealized observations (Jensen, 2003;Sytch & Tatarynowicz, 2014b). This resulted in a final dataset of 250,730 observations.…”

“…Many recent studies have used a similar approach in analyzing tie formation in a variety of settings, including venture capital syndication (Rider, 2012;Trapido, 2007), strategic alliances (Sytch & Tatarynowicz, 2014b), and investment bank advising relationships (Jensen, 2003).…”

“…We addressed this issue in two ways. First, we controlled for the Lincoln Autoregressive Term, first proposed by Lincoln (1984) and frequently used to alleviate dyadic autocorrelation in tie formation studies (Rider, 2009;Stuart, 1998;Sytch & Tatarynowicz, 2014b). It is based on the mean value of the dependent variable across all dyads involving either of the VCs in the dyad for the focal year, but excluding the focal dyad.…”

Rent Seeking and Power Hierarchies: A Noncooperative Model of Network Formation with Antagonistic Links

“…The costs of litigation are very high, reaching more that 5 millions USD per lawsuit, excluding damages and royalties (Rea, 2009). The transfers to be paid reach sums which are considerably higher (Sytch and Tatarynowicz, 2013). The firms can be, and usually are, involved in more than one such process at the same time.…”

Collaboration in open-plan offices

“…In general, researchers have focused on the social and individual antecedents and processes involved in collaboration, rather than the physical context (e.g. Bruns, 2013;DiBenigno & Kellogg, 2014;Sytch & Tatarynowicz, 2013). Yet there are three main areas of the literature on collaboration that defy this trend: the research on collaboration as a network (e.g.…”
