“…At the implementation stage, triadic and network relationships develop (Zheng et al 2019;Verschoore and Adami 2020). In a public sector project context, these relationships are contractuallybounded and subject to institutional governing rules, which require competitive bidding (Henisz et al 2012;Zheng et al 2019).…”

“…The measurement of the degree of points' centrality is based on the analysis of contractual relationships and information exchange in the network. It has been argued that the centrality value reflects both authority and power in the network (Wasserman and Faust 1994;Verschoore and Adami 2020); however, high centrality in a contractual project network is no guarantee of control over events or the activities of other actors in the setting (Pryke 2012(Pryke , 2017. Pryke (2012) suggested that the extent to which centrality affects the degree of control and authority in the network is contingent on the structure of the whole network, primarily on the extent to which the central actor can influence groups and the network as a whole.…”

Embeddedness and Actors’ Behaviors in Large-Scale Project Life Cycle: Lessons Learned from a High-Speed Rail Project in Spain

Despite wide-ranging research on large-scale infrastructure project performance, little is known about the role that project public institutional context and project owner's response capability plays in the governing process. Building on a theoretically driven approach and a case study, we first established a set of propositions, and then substantiated this set through empirical illustrations. This study investigated the multi-actor Madrid-Barcelona high-speed rail line (HSL) project with the use of social network analysis supplemented by qualitative evidence. The findings show that actors' behavior is affected by the project public institutional context, coupled with contractual commitments. A closer examination of the data found two factors that drive the escalation dynamics: (1) the timing mismatches-a ubiquitous feature of public sector project owners' organization-leading to the incapacity to influence governance during the project front-end and (2) owners' passive behavior during implementation. From the management perspective, an active owner with high project response capability is necessary for effectively interacting with contractors, and for selecting and managing both contractual and trust-based governance mechanisms effectively. Based on the findings, the authors offer theoretical and managerial implications for promoting the effectiveness of owner-contractor collaboration in large-scale infrastructure projects.

“…On the one hand, most of the existing studies consider coopetition as a deliberated and emergent strategy, which means that a deliberate strategy on the firm level may be influenced by emergent coopetition on other levels (Dahl, Kock, & Lundgren-Henriksson, 2016;Tidström & Rajala, 2016). On the other hand, coopetition can be considered an explicit strategy that considers the simultaneous and symmetric existence of competition and cooperation (Hoffmann et al, 2018), while the interplay of competition and cooperation may be explicit or implicit (Minà et al, 2020;Verschoore & Adami, 2020).…”

This study aims to analyze the dynamic process of coopetition between an established organization and startups to develop innovation. We conducted an exploratory, qualitative study, based on Grounded Theory. The Grounded Theory allows the development of a theory emerging from data that is simultaneously collected and analyzed, determining the categories to observe the core questions. It can be divided into two stages: initial coding (open and axial coding) and focused coding. In the open coding, are defined categories and subcategories that are reviewed in the axial coding to generate more precise explanations? Along with the focused coding, the data organized from initial coding is categorized for an analytical understanding of the phenomena. In the first stage, we conducted eight semi-structured interviews with a homogeneous sample. An interview guide addressing coopetition factors was developed. As a result, we developed a framework from the theoretical background. This framework was evaluated by three executives and professors with experience in coopetition between large corporations and startups. The snowball technique was used to recruit the participants. Our findings reveal that different factors – market increase, strategic alignment, and technological alignment – are associated. We observed that coopetition not only helps in developing new markets but also in understanding the user demands of these markets. Thus, coopetition is an accelerator of innovation, since it allows the identification of the resource complementarity and technological scale gains.

“…e relationally defined method was more frequently adopted in Category III (11.90%). Two sampling methods, including snowball sampling [56,118,125] and chain-referral sampling [121,123], were used in these studies. Compared with Category III, the methodologically defined method was more frequently used in Categories I, II, and IV (27.03%, 31.25%, and 92.31%, resp.).…”

Social network analysis (SNA) has gained increasing academic attention in the construction domain over the past two decades due to its capability to characterize the complexity and dynamics of interindividual and interorganizational interactions. To date, however, scant attempt has been made to develop an integrated framework to systematically review the diversified network research at different levels in this domain and to quantitatively characterize the evolution of related research interests and research instruments. This study aims to fill this gap by conducting a bibliometric-qualitative review based on 106 papers published from 1997 to 2020. Keyword cooccurrence analysis is employed to reveal the research foci, identify the research trends, and develop a comprehensive categorization framework, which classifies related research based on two interrelated dimensions: the type of network node (individual and organization) and the levelof network analysis (project level, corporate level, and industry level). The framework then facilitates further content analysis in terms of research topics, research designs, and research instruments. The results provide evidence that the research foci in this domain are generally moving towards addressing the complexity and dynamics of project-related relations at more diversified levels, in terms of not only research topics but also research instruments. Future research can be enriched by investigating the multiple types of dynamic interproject relationships, adopting state-of-the-art methodologies for network data collection and triangulation, and employing multiple SNA constructs and inferential statistical methods to reveal how complex networks coevolve and interact with actors’ behaviors as well as project and organizational outcomes.
