A Network Analysis of Leadership Theory (2016, methodology): “In the social sciences, this technique is used to understand how the interrelationships among people influence organizational-, team-, and individual-level outcomes (Haythornthwaite, 1996; Moliterno & Mahony, 2011; Westaby, Pfaff, & Redding, 2014; Zaheer & Soda, 2009).”
Exploring the Locus of Invention: The Dynamics of Network Communities and Firms' Invention Productivity (2014, background): “The focus on network communities is likely to be equally relevant for scholars examining network change and dynamics (e.g., Powell, White, Koput, & Owen-Smith, 2005; Zaheer & Soda, 2009).”
Network Churn: The Effects of Self-Monitoring Personality on Brokerage Dynamics (2010, background): “A popular network account of tie emergence relies on a preferentialattachment logic whereby those with many ties tend to accumulate even more ties over time (e.g., Price, 1965; Barabasi and Albert, 1999; Gulati and Gargiulo, 1999; Zaheer and Soda, 2009; for a detailed discussion, see Newman, 2010).”
“All for One and One for All?” - Knowledge broker roles in managing tensions of internal coopetition: The Ubisoft case (2019, background): “sounder understanding not only of the processes and behavior underlying knowledge brokerage (Zaheer and Soda, 2009) but also of how brokers and the parties they link interact more concretely (Boari and Riboldazzi, 2014; Howells, 2006).”
The Dark Side of Structural Holes (2013, background): “Structural hole positions and status are tightly intertwined (Soda & Zaheer, 2009).”
Personal relationships and innovation diffusion in SME networks: A content analysis approach (2012, methodology): “To reach high levels of objectivity and external validity, the analysis is implemented by following a coding procedure (Duriau et al., 2007; Insch et al., 1997; Morris, 1994; Zaheer and Soda, 2009).”
Cultural Industries: Product–Market Characteristics, Management Challenges and Industry Dynamics (2015, unknown): “What effect does the exclusive network have on product performance? Previous co-productions successful in terms of audience size increase the likelihood of success of future collaborations (Soda et al. 2004; Zaheer and Soda 2009).”
Understanding network formation in strategy research: Exponential random graph models (2016, background): “Research has demonstrated that status and centrality influence the formation of structural holes (Zaheer and Soda, 2009) and that firms that are in brokerage positions with heterogeneous partners are more likely to sustain their network position (Yin, Wu, and Tsai, 2012).”
Which of These Things Are Not Like the Others? Comparing the Rational, Emotional, and Moral Aspects of Reputation, Status, Celebrity, and Stigma (2019, methodology): “Also, using past performance as a measure of status (Zaheer & Soda, 2009) is inappropriate, as past performance is intimately related to organizational reputation (Lee et al., 2011; Roberts&Dowling, 2002;Washington&Zajac, 2005).”
Friends and Foes: The dynamics of dual social structures (2014, background): “In doing so, it thus examines the dynamics of the social structures of work relationships among individual actors and groups (Zaheer & Soda, 2009) and those of investment syndicates and strategic partnerships among corporate actors (e.g., Baum, Shipilov, & Rowley, 2003; Gulati & Gargiulo, 1999;…”
Universities and open innovation: the determinants of network centrality (2019, background): “…whereby actors who link previously unconnected actors within a network are considered to occupy privileged and central positions, has been applied to innovation studies (Stuart 1998; Ahuja 2000; Zaheer and Bell 2005; Massard and Mehier 2009; Zaheer and Soda 2009; Tortoriello 2015; Tang et al.”
