Constructing Markets and Shaping Boundaries: Entrepreneurial Power in Nascent Fields (2009, background): “Addressing the resulting uncertainty may then involve using traditional resource dependence mechanisms (Casciaro & Piskorski, 2005; Gulati & Sytch, 2007; Katila et al., 2008).”
Does Sustainable Supplier Cooperation Affect Performance (2012, background): “Since dependence on these suppliers is high, co-operation can at least help to mitigate uncertainty about supplier behaviour by inducing greater behavioural interdependencies (Pfeffer and Salancik 1978 , Casciaro and Piskorsky 2005 ) which might transform in better operational performance.”
Moving from Abuse to Reconciliation: A Power-Dependence Perspective on When and How a Follower Can Break the Spiral of Abuse (2017, background): “Moreover, a more refined depiction of power dependence in a leader–follower dyad “calls for the simultaneous consideration of the power capability of i in relation to j and the power capability of j in relation to i” (Casciaro & Piskorski, 2005: 170).”
Managing Imbalanced Supply Chain Relationships for Sustainability: A Power Perspective (2014, background): “Fourth, we specifically address the concerns about the need to increase the application of RDT to study buyer–supplier relationships (Casciaro & Piskorski, 2005), and specifically in SSCM (Carter & Easton, 2011; Carter & Rogers, 2008).”
Organizational Perspectives of Industrial Symbiosis (2015, background): “For instance, Chertow’s (2000) work described the anchor-tenant model as a fruitful antecedent as anchor firms provide large and constant flows of by-products that can form the core of exchanges (Wang, Zhang, & Wang, 2009), as well as building an infrastructure for future potential exchanges among o”
Cui Bono? The Selective Revealing of Knowledge and Its Implications for Innovative Activity (2013, background): “…of formats for collaboration that organizations may choose has been proposed by different literatures with selective revealing hitherto missing as an option (for recent reviews, see, e.g., Casciaro & Piskorski, 2005; Hillman et al., 2009; Parmigiani & Rivera-Santos, 2011; Phelps et al., 2012).”
Discretion Within Constraint: Homophily and Structure in a Formal Organization (2012, neutral): “If women respond to all-male cliques by creating ties with other women (Casciaro and Piskorski 2005)—even those outside their business units and offices—that too could explain our results.”
Institutional Strategies in Emerging Markets (2015, background): “Failure to consider the transferability of relational strategies may jeopardize an organization’s competitive advantage and destabilize its resource exchanges with government bodies and key stakeholder groups (Berman et al., 1999; Casciaro & Piskorski, 2005; Hillman et al., 1999).”
Green credit policy and firm performance: What we learn from China (2021, background): “Corporate development depends on its stakeholders, and there is a close relationship between them (Casciaro and Piskorski, 2005; Flammer and Kacperczyk, 2016), therefore, the stakeholder theory is put forward to remind firms to undertake wider charitable and ethical responsibilities while realizing ”
Corporate Social and Financial Performance: An Extended Stakeholder Theory, and Empirical Test with Accounting Measures (2008, background): “Casciaro and Piskorski (2005) develop two conditions for such constraint absorption to occur – that is, for the internalization of constraints by a focal firm. If for two parties in a relationship mutual dependence is high and the power difference is low, one of the parties is likely to absorp the d”
The effects of absorptive and joint learning on the instability of international joint ventures in emerging economies (2010, methodology): “Using these two measures, we then determined total dependence as the sum of the two types of dependence, and dependence asymmetry as the absolute difference between them (Casciaro & Piskorski, 2005).”
How Do Social Defenses Work? A Resource-Dependence Lens on Technology Ventures, Venture Capital Investors, and Corporate Relationships (2014, background): “Empirical research has confirmed several key tactics that can be used to gain control over significant resources, including mergers and acquisitions (Casciaro & Piskorski, 2005), ties with the government (Hillman et al., 2009), and offers of board seats to representatives of key resource holders…”
