“…We focus on these variables because network scholars agree that the two central concepts in network analysis are the structure of a network and the content (substance) of the dyadic ties among social parties (e.g., Burt, 1983;Freeman, 2004;Kilduff, Tsai, & Hanke, 2006;Schweizer, 1997;Tichy, Tushman, & Fombrun, 1979). For instance, Tichy et al (1979) described the transactional content of network ties as elementary properties of social networks.…”

This article investigates the configuration of cognition-and affect-based trust in managers' professional networks, examining how these two types of trust are associated with relational content and structure. Results indicate that cognition-based trust is positively associated with economic resource, task advice, and career guidance ties, whereas affect-based trust is positively associated with friendship and career guidance ties but negatively associated with economic resource ties. The extent of embeddedness in a network through positive ties increases affect-based trust, whereas that through negative ties decreases cognition-based trust. These findings illuminate how trust arises in networks and inform network research that invokes trust to explain managerial outcomes.

“…Study contexts include competition in the biotechnology industry (Powell et al, 1996) and the semiconductor industry (Podolny et al, 1996), structure of the corporate elite in Germany (Kogut and Walker, 2001), innovation in the software industry (Iyer et al, 2006), and configurations of global manufacturing networks (Vereecke et al, 2006). Kilduff et al (2006) identifies several core ideas in this stream of research: the importance of relations between organizational actors (e.g. individuals, groups, business units, firms), the embeddedness of organizational actors in network contexts (e.g.…”

Visualization of Interfirm Relations in a Converging Mobile Ecosystem

The mobile ecosystem is characterized by a large and complex network of companies interacting with each other, directly and indirectly, to provide a broad array of mobile products and services to end-customers. With the convergence of enabling technologies, the complexity of the mobile ecosystem is increasing multifold as new actors are emerging, new relations are formed, and the traditional distribution of power is shifted. Drawing on theories of network science, complex systems, interfirm relationships, and the creative art and science of visualization, this paper identifies key players and maps the complex structure and dynamics of nearly 7000 global companies and over 18,000 relationships in the converging mobile ecosystem. Our approach enables decision makers to (i) visually explore the complexity of interfirm relations in the mobile ecosystem, (ii) discover the relation between current and emerging segments, (iii) determine the impact of convergence on ecosystem structure, (iv) understand a firm's competitive position, and (v) identify interfirm relation patterns that may influence their choice of innovation strategy or business models.

“…Em cada um dos diferentes aspectos da vida, há uma ou várias redes nas quais as pessoas se encontram inseridas em relacionamentos sociais interativos de múltiplos níveis (Kilduff, Tsai, & Hanke, 2006). Tais relações sociais se mostram dinâmicas em termos, principalmente, estruturais, nos quais os laços que se estabelecem entre as pessoas podem apresentar diferentes pesos ou forças (Granovetter, 1973), bem como direções, assim, indicando poder ou influência.…”

Coopetição em Redes Interpessoais

A sociedade se organiza em redes. A perspectiva das redes, então, é algo que deve ser considerado como inerente à vida social, especialmente, quando se observa o fato de que não é viável (ou mesmo possível) para um dado ator - seja ele uma pessoa ou uma organização - viver de forma completamente independente e isolada de outros e em múltiplas instâncias. Estes arranjos ou estruturas em rede, habitualmente, são abordados na literatura de Administração sob uma perspectiva organizacional e, nesse sentido, podem ser formados em contextos que variam entre a competição, a colaboração e um tipo de relação mista. Nesta, atores que normalmente competem entre si resolvem colaborar de alguma forma para atingir algum objetivo que seja comum, ou seja, tem-se a colaboração entre atores que interagem em um ambiente competitivo. A este tipo de relação entre as organizações dá-se o nome de coopetição. O presente trabalho propõe que seja abandonada a exclusividade da adoção do termo e desta modalidade de relação no contexto meso. Para demonstrar que não há argumentação teórica suficientemente organizada que leve o pesquisador a acreditar que esta abordagem deva ser associada exclusivamente a um contexto meso, o presente trabalho lança mão de um estudo bibliográfico sobre o conceito em questão. Como previamente apresentado, o objetivo é o de evidenciar que o conceito de coopetição, também, pode ser aplicado ao contexto das relações individuais.
