Strategic networks

Abstract: This paper introduces the important role of networks of interfirm ties in examining fundamental issues in strategy research. Prior research has primarily viewed firms as autonomous entities striving for competitive advantage from either external industry sources or from internal resources and capabilities. However, the networks of relationships in which firms are embedded profoundly influence their conduct and performance. We identify five key areas of strategy research in which there is potential for incorpor… Show more

“…In the field of business, for instance, social networking concepts such as structural holes have been used to identify factors affecting the profitability of firms. 'Structural holes', coined by Ronald Burt, exist where other nodes are connected only through a focal node, and firms that occupy structural holes are able to control the flow of information and capitalise on a larger portion of the resources, thereby leading to greater returns (Burt, 1995;Gulati et al, 2000).…”

“…Nesse sentido, tem-se também comentado o segundo conjunto de argumentações dos Balestrim e Verchoore (2014). Observar as redes em um mercado pode ser importante para compreender a estrutura deste mercado, uma vez que os atores se relacionam entre si em fluxos de compartilhamento (Gulati, Nohria, & Zaheer, 2000). Ao fazê-lo, é possível notar que as características estruturais de uma rede afetam os ganhos daqueles inseridos na rede.…”

“…Lacunas estruturais -existentes quando dois atores de uma rede só se relacionam por intermédio de um terceiro ator central (a lacuna estrutural) representam influência nos ganhos dos atores, além da posição do membro na rede (Gulati et al, 2000). É importante ressaltar que estas considerações podem ser aplicadas sem obstáculos de compreensão às redes interpessoais, uma vez que se passa a pensar em redes interpessoais como redes da mesma forma que se encara as redes interorganizacionais.…”
