“…For example, research examining publicly traded U.S. firms has found that firms are more likely to form interlocking ties when their core technologies are aligned, and once formed, board interlock ties can facilitate the subsequent formation of R&D alliance ties (Howard, Withers, & Tihanyi, 2017). Other studies have directly examined the formation of “negative” ties between firms, such as antitrust lawsuits (Sytch & Tatarynowicz, 2014b), competition (Downing, Kang, & Markman, 2019), and patent litigation (Howard et al, 2017). As in the interpersonal literature on dyadic change, tie dissolution has tended to receive less theoretical attention in the interorganizational research than tie formation.…”

This paper reviews the growing body of work on network dynamics in organizational research, focusing on a corpus of 187 articles—both “micro” (i.e., interpersonal) and “macro” (i.e., interorganizational)—published between 2007 and 2020. We do not see “network dynamics” as a single construct; rather, it is an umbrella term covering a wide territory. In the first phase of our two-phase review, we present a taxonomy that organizes this territory into three categories: (1) network change (i.e., the emergence, evolution, and transformation of network ties and structures), the occurrence of relational events (i.e., modeling the sequence of discrete actions generated by one actor and directed towards one or more other actors), and (3) coevolution (i.e., the process whereby network and actor attributes influence each other over time). Our review highlights differences between network dynamics based on relational states (e.g., a friendship) and relational events (e.g., an email message), examines the drivers and effects of network dynamics, and in a methodological appendix, clarifies the assumptions, strengths, and weaknesses of different analytical approaches for studying network dynamics. In the second phase of our review, we critically reflect on the findings from the first phase and sketch out a rough agenda for future research, organized in terms of four overarching themes: the interplay between the dynamics of social networks conceived as relational states and relational events, mechanisms underlying network dynamics, outcomes of network dynamics, and the role of cognition.

“…Awareness has been used to analyze how executives and shareholders detect and recognize their rivals in different contexts, such as market entry (Baum & Korn, 1996;Markman & Waldron, 2014) or mergers and acquisitions (Haleblian, McNamara, Kolev, & Dykes, 2012). Understanding how firms and the stock market become aware of potential rivals is particularly important in a rapidly changing competitive environment where the advent of technology has led firms that previously were not rivals to compete with each other (Chen & Miller, 2015;D'Aveni, Dagnino, & Smith, 2010;Downing, Kang, & Markman, 2019). To this extent, knowing incumbent hotel firms' and investors' awareness toward startups entering the industry, allow to determine the perceived threat that incumbents attribute to startups.…”

“…We argue that the success of Airbnb has resulted in incumbent hotel executives and shareholders starting to take cues from rivals who possess a different bundle of resources (Downing et al, 2019). For example, hotel firms today compete with short-term rental firms that are essentially technology firms serving as a platform to connect travelers with hosts (similar to an online travel agency) under the brand name of the platform.…”

“…As a result, organizations fail to detect threats and avoid calamities, not because of lack of signals or insufficient knowledge, but limited processing (Ocasio, 1997;Ocasio, Laamanen & Vaara, 2018). In addition, misalignment between decision-makers and a threat can also cause attention gaps (Downing, Kang & Markman, 2019). Awareness is an opportunity, as it precedes motivation and ability to act and guides companies' attention and information-gathering efforts before rivalry occur (Chen, Su & Tsai, 2007;Downing, Kang & Markman, 2019).…”

Um sonho só pode ser compreendido se o sonhador for você, é isso. No início poucas pessoas compreendiam o meu desejo de sair do interior do Rio Grande do Sul, de perto da minha família, da minha casa para fazer o doutorado. Eu justifico essa escolha, pois acredito que precisamos mais de coragem do que de certezas. Eu sempre sonhei em mudar a minha vida, ultrapassar os limites do espaço onde nasci, de ver novos lugares e conhecer novas pessoas.No entanto, nada faria sentido, nem a mudança, nem a realização desse sonho se não fosse para compartilhar e orgulhar as pessoas que mais amo, que admiro e que me acompanharam durante todo processo. Agora chegou o momento de agradecer.Obrigada, meu Deus, pela força e coragem em todos os momentos. A fé nos ensina a amar nosso presente, seja ele como for, a aceitar o que chega, respeitar o que vai e agradecer pelo que fica, acreditar, confiar e descansar na certeza de que aquele que nos guarda não dorme.Elias, meu esposo, a pessoa que sempre acreditou em mim, no meu sonho.Obrigada por segurar a minha mão em todos os momentos, inclusive naqueles onde os ventos foram contrários. Obrigada por se fazer presente mesmo distante e por acreditar que tudo isso era possível. Obrigada por cuidar da nossa Filó na minha ausência e por permitir que o Bimbo estivesse sempre ao meu lado.Meu pai Elsio e minha mãe Gisila, dedico essa conquista a vocês que não tiveram a oportunidade de estudar, mas fizeram questão que a educação fosse prioridade na vida das suas filhas. Vocês concluíram apenas o ensino médio, mas sempre me mostraram que eu poderia ir muito além, desde que a responsabilidade, a dedicação e a honestidade fizessem parte da minha trajetória. Eu sou a primeira doutora da família, e isso significa muito para vocês e para mim.Minha irmã Daiana e minha sobrinha Mariana, agradeço por vocês compreenderem a minha ausência, por torcerem pela minha realização. Foi um período desafiador, de recomeços para nossa família, para nossa mãe. Obrigada, minha irmã, por entender que muitas vezes eu não pude estar ao teu lado, agradeço por cuidar tão bem do nosso pai e da nossa mãe.Professor Fernando Antonio Ribeiro Serra, meu orientador, meu ponto de referência no caminhar, obrigada por criar possibilidades para que eu pudesse produzir e construir essa tese e outras pesquisas. Agradeço a oportunidade de aprender contigo, por toda sua dedicação e atenção sempre. Quero que saiba que és um exemplo para minha vida e que foi uma honra ser sua orientanda.Professor Luis Hernan Contreras Pinochet, meu coorientador e parceiro de várias horas de análises e interpretações de dados. Obrigada por me ensinar tanto e por fazer com que tudo se tornasse mais fácil. Sou muito grata por ter conhecido você e por ter uma pessoa tão dedicada e competente como coorientador.Professor José Eduardo Storopoli, quem sabe nada disso estaria acontecendo em minha vida se não fosse a sua disponibilidade em ensinar e disseminar o conhecimento.Eu sou muito grata por você ter acreditado em mim, no meu potencial. Obrigada pelas oportuni...
