Understanding network formation in strategy research: Exponential random graph models (2016, background): “One of the key themes to emerge from organizational research on social networks is that firms are embedded in sets of relationships and interactions (Granovetter, 1985) that determine both their actions and outcomes (e.g., Ahuja, Polidoro, and Mitchell, 2009; Stern, Dukerich, and Zajac, 2014).”
The dynamics of interfirm networks along the industry life cycle: The case of the global video game industry, 1987–2007 (2013, background): “…have started to investigate how interfirm network formation, as a result of tie initiation patterns, takes place (e.g. Rosenkopf and Padula, 2008; Ahuja et al., 2009; Cassi and Plunket, 2010; Balland, 2012; Broekel and Boschma, 2012), but applied research on the spatial and temporal dimension of…”
Clusters for life or life cycles of clusters: in search of the critical factors of clusters' resilience (2014, background): “Ahuja, Polodiro, and Mitchell (2009) find empirical evidence on that by capturing the micro-motives for more disassortative behaviours in strategic alliance networks.”
Effectiveness of technology investment: Impact of internal technological capability, networking and investment's strategic importance (2012, background): “Moreover, a level of commonality between the firm’s internal and network’s capability may be necessary for successful knowledge exchange (Lane and Lubatkin, 1998; Rothaermel and Hess, 2007; Ahuja et al., 2009).”
Cui Bono? The Selective Revealing of Knowledge and Its Implications for Innovative Activity (2013, background): “…the emergence of collaborative mechanisms such as strategic alliances beyond the argument of multiplex relations, that is, currently existing relationships on another dimension that will be leveraged to form the desired alliance (e.g., Ahuja et al., 2009; Gulati & Gargiulo, 1999; Hallen, 2008).”
The Genesis and Dynamics of Organizational Networks (2012, background): “In organizational networks, the degree distribution has been used to signify the distribution of status, power, or prestige across organizations (Gulati and Gargiulo 1999, Ahuja et al. 2009).”
