A Systems Perspective on Markets: Toward a Research Agenda (2017, background): “…studying markets within and outside the field of marketing have drawn inspiration from more holistic and systemic conceptualizations to begin to transcend some of the existing controversies (see e.g. Arthur, 2015; Giesler and Fischer, 2017; Padgett and Powell, 2012, Wollin and Perry, 2004).”
The Emergence of Global Systemic Risk (2015, background): “Padgett & Powell (2012) further develop a sociological conception of emergence in an organizational context by emphasizing how interaction in social networks changes the properties of the people, things, and ideas that flow through social networks.”
Network-Related Personality and the Agency Question: Multirole Evidence from a Virtual World1 (2012, background): “A next step from this analysis is to see how the network advantage illustrated in figures 1 and 4 is contingent on, or enhanced by, the way the network developed (see, e.g., Padgett and Powell 2012).”
Adaptation, bridging and firm upgrading: How non-market institutions and MNCs facilitate knowledge recombination in emerging markets (2014, background): “Integrating recent work on network resources and comparative capitalism may prove useful here in considering the impact of the different institutional configurations in which a firm is embedded (Granovetter, 2002; Padgett & Powell, 2012).”
Distinctions, affiliations, and professional knowledge in financial reform expert groups (2014, background): “Self-similarity provides a key means for the replication of identities and cultures, and is fundamental within social networks and communities (Padgett 2012).”
Separate Worlds? Explaining the current wave of regional economic polarization (2018, background): “…together – existing firms, innovation, networks and leadership, conventions and world views, entrepreneurship – economic sociologists speak of the emergence of “organizational fields” or ecologies (Powell et al, 2012; Padgett and Powell, 2012), referring to a complex institutionalization process.”
