Why Do Firms Imitate Each Other (2006, unknown): “Similarly, Klemperer (1992) shows that competitors may duplicate their product lines to mitigate rivalry.”
Competition within and Between Networks: The Contingent Effect of Competitive Embeddedness on Alliance Formation (2004, background): “Prior research on this question has examined the likelihood of formation and dissolution of alliances among rivals ( Garcia-Pont & Nohria, 2002; Kogut, 1989; Park & Russo, 1996; Pfeffer & Nowak, 1976).”
Research on Competitive Dynamics: Recent Accomplishments and Future Challenges (2004, background): “Garcia-Pont and Nohria (2002)found that automobile manufacturers were likely to mimic the alliance dynamics of group members not the industry as a whole. A study of Dutch accounting firms found that strategic group membership influenced imitation of firms’ internal structures ( Lee & Pennings, 2002 ”
A Dual Networks Perspective on Inter-Organizational Transfer of R&D Capabilities: International Joint Ventures in the Chinese Automotive Industry (2005, unknown): “Since the early 1980s, automotive assemblers and component suppliers worldwide have been forming alliances and a few large MNE networks have emerged as a result (Nohria and Garcia-Pont 1991, Garcia-Pont and Nohria 2002).”
Unmixed signals: How reputation and status affect alliance formation (2014, background): “Other controls Prior research has shown that executives’ decisions to form alliances are influenced by the observed actions of others (Garcia-Pont and Nohria, 2002).”
Institutional distance and local isomorphism strategy (2012, background): “In addition, firms have been shown to imitate similar competitors (Rhee, Kim, & Han, 2006), and those that occupy the same strategic niche (Garcia-Pont & Nohria, 2002).”
Legitimacy and multi-level institutional environments: implications for foreign subsidiary ownership structure (2007, background): “The underlying logic is that firms tend to be more sensitive to the signs that are provided by specified others in a narrowly defined environment than to those that are provided by unspecified others in a broadly defined environment (Garcia-Pont and Nohria, 2002; Chan et al., 2006).”
