Knowledge, Networks, and Knowledge Networks (2011, methodology): “Second, we limited our search to research published in six leading management journals and six leading social science disciplinary journals.2 We developed this list by identifying top-ranked journals in the relevant fields in published journal rankings.”
Systems thinking, knowledge and action: towards better models and methods (2010, background): “The business literature outlines the advantages to such structures as joint ventures and strategic alliances, in terms of information sharing, innovation and speed of diffusion (Brass et al, 2004; Provan et al, 2007).”
How do networks and learning drive M&As?
