“…Tacit knowledge, however important, particularly in the context of developing countries, is difficult to interpret, articulate, formalize and communicate. It can only be transferred, and shared through close collaboration (Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995) and geographical proximity (Jones et al, 1997). Nahapiet and Ghoshal (1998) and Moran and Ghoshal (1996) suggest that the theory of social capital includes a relational dimension that is a function of repeated relationship dynamics between the partners.…”

The triple helix strategy for universities in developing countries: the experiences in Malaysia and Algeria

This article addresses issues relating to the policy shift in developing countries aimed at making universities increasingly relevant to the socio-economic milieu by promoting the 'triple helix culture' as a sustainable basis for innovation and technological progress. The role of universities in creating, disseminating and sharing knowledge is highlighted. Using the experiences of Malaysia and Algeria, the article explores evidence to show the extent to which the triple helix system of relationships between university, industry and government could be expected to enhance the relevance of universities to developing countries as active agents of innovation and sustainable development.

“…Building on the growing recognition that firms do not operate in isolation from their environments (Jones et al 1997), we submit that economic actions and outcomes that occur within ongoing exchange relationships such as marketing channels are likely to be influenced by their national contexts. Our review of extant TCA literature and its criticisms indicates that such possibility has rarely been explored, which leads us to surmise that a knowledge gap persists.…”

Driving forces of coordination costs in distributor–supplier relationships: toward a middle-range theory

Transaction cost analysis (TCA) has inspired many empirical studies in marketing channels and businessto-business marketing. However, the vast majority of these studies have been conducted within the context of a single nation, making it hard to determine whether the empirical relationships derived from the framework are universal. Highlighting the influence of the national context in which the economic exchange relationship is embedded, we elaborate on the manner by which one form of transaction costs, namely, coordination costs, can be both a direct and an indirect function of two key governance challenges: safeguarding and adaptation. Taking a middle-range approach, we propose that the process by which coordination costs are evoked is a combination of context-excluded and context-embedded links. The hypothesized relationships are tested with data collected in parallel national surveys of industrial distributors in two large national economies with different cultures: the United States and Japan. The results support our predictions of both context-excluded and context-embedded links with the exception of the effect of environmental volatility.

“…For example, Robins et al (2011) state that a fragmented “macroculture”—disputed or conflicting priorities among actors—leads to more negative interactions and may place the effectiveness of governance in jeopardy (Jones et al 1997; Robins et al 2011). Tucker (2004) cautions that a lack of coordination and tensions among actors at different scales can compromise natural resource governance efforts.…”

“…These interactions can be considered as “strongly positive” and “weakly positive,” respectively (Labianca and Brass 2006). Negative interactions or relationships, however, are rarely examined in network analysis (Labianca and Brass 2006; Ansell 2008; Bruggeman et al 2012), but may offer a richer perspective by identifying interactions that influence user group community structure (within and among groups) (Bruggeman et al 2012) and may inhibit or jeopardize governance efforts (Jones et al 1997; Tucker 2004; Robins et al 2011). In fact, negative interactions are argued to have a greater impact on networks than positive or neutral interactions (Labianca and Brass 2006).…”

Social Network Analysis of Multi-level Linkages: A Swedish Case Study on Northern Forest-Based Sectors

Forest use in Northern Sweden is being influenced both by global trends and local situations. This results in interactions between numerous groups that may impact local forest governance. Social network analysis can here provide insight into the total pattern of positive, negative, and cross-level interactions within user group community structure (within and among groups). This study analyses interactions within selected renewable resource sectors in two northern Swedish municipalities, both with regard to whether they are positive, neutral, or negative, as well as with regard to how local actors relate to actors across levels, e.g., with regional, national, and international actors. The study illustrates that many interactions both within and outside a given sector are seen as neutral or positive, and that considerable interaction and impact are defined as national and in some cases even international. It also indicates that the impact of Sweden’s only existing Model Forest may to some extent constitute a bridge between different sectors and levels, in comparison with the interactions between sectors in a municipality where such a cooperation mechanism does not exist.
