“…However, with the exception of the descriptive contributions [25], increasing attention has recently been paid to the appearance, persistence and extinction of these bridging positions [26][27][28][29][30]. Additionally, in spite of the dynamic conceptualization of the phenomena, measurements and empirical data have mainly remained within the realm of static approaches [31].…”

Dynamics of Brokerage Positions in Clusters: Evidence from the Spanish Foodstuffs Industry

Shifting away from traditional approaches orientated towards the analysis of the benefits associated with brokerage, this paper provides valuable insights into the dynamics of this network position and the opportunities to innovate that it provides. Using fine grain micro data collected in a foodstuff Spanish cluster, the evolution of different brokerage profiles is analyzed in depth. It was particularly evident how firm-level characteristics (status, former mediating experience and external openness) and their interactions may generate changes in the different brokerage roles over a period of time. The findings of this work partially validate expectations based on the network dynamics approaches. Status and previous mediating experience facilitate the creation of partnerships, fostering brokerage. Conversely, interaction effects demote brokerage activity at the intra-cluster level, suggesting the selective nature of brokers' relational behavior.

“…Faced with this conclusion, the work of Park and Russo (1996) on JV reaches a contrary result and justifies the greater chance of success in MPAs due to the previous experience of collaboration and the embeddedness of companies in certain subnetwork (Uzzi, 1996), with a greater commitment to these subnetworks than to other subnetworks of the industry (Min & Mitsuhashi, 2012). Consequently, the possible involvement of a company in an MPA is influenced both by the connections that a company maintains with other firms which regularly take part in MPAs and by the past alliances that the firm has carried out with these companies (Sakakibara, 2002).…”

Studies on multipartner alliances (MPAs) with a limited number of partners remain sporadic since the literature has focused its attention mainly on alliance networks and consortia. This work aims to partially cover the existing gap, going more deeply into both the characteristics of MPAs with few partners and the factors determining their formation. Using a different theoretical approach, this study means to advance in the understanding and definition of the main factors that influence the choice between a dyadic alliance and an MPA. The analysis of the influence of these variables is carried out through an exploratory study in the empirical context of public works in Spain. This choice allows the evaluating of the behavior of firms and the factors that influence their decisions. Our results show that the value of the adjudication and the type of work influence the formation of both dyads and MPAs, but the results indicate that in an MPA this effect is strengthened and the search for a critical mass through cooperative behavior is more visible.

“…In this study, an alliance between two airlines was considered to exist in cases where they had entered into a codeshare agreement (Min & Mitsuhashi, 2012). A codeshare allows an airline to sell seats to its clients on the flights of another company with which it has the agreement.…”

Alliance Portfolio Configuration (APC) conditions access to network resources, however, not all access to partner resources is finally mobilized by the firm. Our paper contributes to the understanding of alliance portfolio performance by examining how an acceptable configuration of the alliance portfolio will be conditioned by the level of resource mobilization that the firm really achieves. A variance-based structural equation modelling (Partial Least Squares) has been applied to a sample from the Top International Airlines database. Results from the data analysis show that the Level of Network Resource Mobilization (LNRM) (a) fully mediate the effect of alliance portfolio configuration on the operating performance; and (b) partially mediate this effect on financial performance of airlines.
