Harvesting Value from Brokerage: Individual Strategic Orientation, Structural Holes, and Performance (2017, background): “…theory and findings suggest that the wellestablished discussion on the relative contributions of individual actions and social structures, which has beenmainly limited to tie formation andnetwork dynamics (Ahuja et al., 2012), should also be extended to the discussion of performance consequences.”
Formation and dissolution of inter-firm linkages in lengthy and stable networks in clusters (2015, background): “Despite research on inter-organizational relationships, the origins and dynamics of network structures still merits additional investigation (Ahuja et al., 2012).”
Viewing global strategy through a microfoundations lens (2018, neutral): “…(Thornton, Ocasio, & Lounsbury, 2012), absorptive capacity (Lewin et al., 2011), stakeholder management (Bridoux & Stoelhorst, 2014), networks (Ahuja et al., 2012), organizational capabilities (Kemper, Schilke, & Brettel, 2013), and dynamic capabilities (Helfat & Peteraf, 2014; Hodgkinsson &…”
A mediation model between dimensions of social capital (2013, background): “Thus, Ahuja, Soda, and Zaheer (2012) considered that the architecture of any interfirm network can be conceptualized on the basis of three elements, which are: the nodes that constitute the network, the ties that connect the nodes, and the pattern or structure that results from these connections.”
Understanding network formation in strategy research: Exponential random graph models (2016, background): “However, this assumption can be problematic for many networks, in which new tie formation is an interdependent process influenced by both the characteristics of the actors and of their existing ties (Ahuja et al., 2012; Contractor et al., 2006; Provan, Fish, and Sydow, 2007).”
Proximity and Innovation: From Statics to Dynamics (2015, background): “As such, the proximity framework can benefit from ongoing network-theoretical developments taking place in various disciplines including sociology (RIVERA et al., 2010), management (AHUJA et al., 2012), and economics (JACKSON, 2008; SCHWEITZER et al., 2009).”
The Contaminating Effects of Building Instrumental Ties (2014, background): “To date, network research has been ambiguous about the purpose of the creation and maintenance of social ties (for critical perspectives, see Kilduff and Brass, 2010; Ahuja, Soda, and Zaheer, 2012).”
Lock-in or lock-out ? How structural properties of knowledge networks affect regional resilience (2014, background): “…by a set of three basic primitives (the nodes, the ties that connect the nodes, and the resulting relational structure), networks theories give a simple but useful representation of social structures in a static sense, and are recently more focused on a dynamic purpose (Ahuja et al, 2012).”
