The Effects of Business Accelerators on Venture Performance: Evidence from Start-Up Chile (2017, methodology): “Consistent with arguments by Maurer and Ebers (2006), this finding”
Knowledge flow and inter-firm networks: The influence of network resources, spatial proximity and firm size (2010, background): “Although stable networks reduce the transaction costs of knowledge transfer, it may also be the case that knowledge becomes increasingly homogenous and less useful across network actors (Maurer and Ebers 2006).”
Network-based Research in Entrepreneurship: A Decade in Review (2015, background): “Specifically, teams that became more specialized in managing their relationships to key constituencies were able to reduce the relational and cognitive overload and increase their capacity to form diverse firm-level ties (Maurer and Ebers, 2006).”
The Relationship between Slack Resources and the Performance of Entrepreneurial Firms: The Role of Venture Capital and Angel Investors (2013, neutral): “They provide entrepreneurs with a range of contacts that are typically unavailable when entrepreneurs proceed on their own (Maurer and Ebers, 2006; Prowse, 1998).”
Hybrid Vigor: Securing Venture Capital by Spanning Categories in Nanotechnology (2014, background): “Startups are more or less tied to the academic community and are variously dedicated to commercializing broad scientific discoveries versus specific products (Maurer & Ebers, 2006; Meyer, 2000; Zucker & Darby, 2008).”
Projects, paths, and practices: sustaining and leveraging project-based relationships (2011, background): “In this regard, the notion of path dependencies in tie and network formation (e.g. Maurer & Ebers, 2006; Soda et al., 2004) should be reconceptualised in more dynamic terms.”
Exposed: Venture Capital, Competitor Ties, and Entrepreneurial Innovation (2014, background): “Our study joins a growing body of research on the negative consequences of networks for entrepreneurial firms (Maurer & Ebers, 2006; Stam & Elfring, 2008; Vissa, 2012).”
Social capital in the growth of science-and-technology-based SMEs (2008, background): “…internal resources, SMEs are expected to search for and access external resources through various relationships and networks, primarily through the social capital of their core personnel: generally the CEO and his/her team (Hite & Hesterly, 2001; Maurer & Ebers, 2006; Starr & MacMillan, 1990).”
Returns to alliance portfolio diversity : The relative effects of partner diversity on firm’s innovative performance and productivity (2014, neutral): “The resources devoted to the management of different partners cannot be used to integrate the knowledge base of the innovative ﬁ rm with that of the focal ﬁ rm (Maurer &Ebers,2006),and this can hamper theradical innovative process.”
Influences of organizational investments in social capital on service employee commitment and performance (2013, background): “…is that interpersonal relationships are the underlying drivers of measurable performance outcomes, and that fostering stronger connections within social networks by creating environments that promote trust, rapport and goodwill yields positive outcomes (Adler & Kwon, 2002; Maurer & Ebers, 2006).”
Mental disorders in the entrepreneurship context : When Being Different Can Be an Advantage (2018, background): “A large body of literature has emphasized the importance of social ties for entrepreneurs, in particular emphasizing their important role in providing access to essential resources for the foundation and development of new ventures (e.g., Florin, Lubatkin & Schulze, 2003; Maurer & Ebers, 2006).”
Entrepreneurship, innovation and regional growth: a network theory (2015, background): “These inertial network forces highlight the issue of over-embeddedness, whereby the actors an organisation is best connected to may not be best placed to provide solutions to current problems (Krackhardt 1994; Monge and Contractor 2003; Maurer and Ebers 2006).”
Serial Crowdfunding, Social Capital, and Project Success (2017, result): “This argument finds support in studies highlighting that typical entrepreneurs imperfectly manage social capital (Maurer & Ebers, 2006).”
