“…The main knowledge gap covered by this work is to study the dimensions responsible for the value of transfers from an approach of intense dynamics between clubs using network analysis. This work adds to the high-potential area of social network analysis in sports organizations [1,9,13,17]. In this way, empirical analysis shows relevant findings.…”

However, our work has shown how analyzing the network structure is essential to understanding the phenomenon under analysis, especially the differentiation of values involved.…”

“…With no pretensions of exhaustion, we highlight three common lines of these publications. In a first line, there is the discussion of determinants for such flows, therefore determinants for transfers, either in number of players involved or in the associated amount [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. In a second line, there are works like Mourao [2,8] that seek to assess the efficiency of transfers considering their own restrictions on the part of the involved determinants.…”

Transfers in the football world have become a hot topic in academic studies in recent years. Spanish league (La Liga) is one of the men’s professional football leagues that have driven some of the most notorious transfers. In this way, we test determinants for the transfer relationships of football players in the Spanish League in the most expensive seasons with records (2018/2019 and 2019/2020 seasons). Furthermore, we identify determinants for the values of the observed transfers. The empirical analysis shows relevant findings. We recognize two implications. First, Spanish soccer transfers are not random and this evidence reflects the environment of imperfect competition characterizing La Liga. Second, the nonrandomness of the transfer process can be associated with an increasing inequality among teams and with a threat to the competitive balance in professional sports.

“…The different memory systems involve distinct neural networks, observable by medical imaging during memory tasks or recovery of various pieces of information (Lexcellent, 2019). These networks are, nevertheless, interconnected and work in close collaboration; the same event can have semantic and episodic contents, and the equivalent information can be represented in explicit and implicit forms (Dhayanithy and Mukherjee, 2020). Like human memory, OM arises from multiple recollections, but the criterion of identity over time for a subject could not be the continuity of memory (Smith, 2018).…”

PurposeThis paper articulates a multi-contextual and dynamic system for memory research in relation to multi-cultural organizations (MCOs) by a qualitative research method.Design/methodology/approachFace-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted with representatives of 30 national officers in North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to illuminate how the construction of organizational memory (OM) can then be compared and contrasted across different cultures.FindingsThe findings show that OM still mostly resides in individuals with the social transfer. However, even if, cultural aspects define what should be stored, time and purpose, the static memory of individuals becomes dynamic OM that is represented and interpreted in an organization's practices, policies and learning.Originality/valueThe primary contribution is to attempt to dissolve the seeming assumption of dialectical metaphoric perspectives of OM between different but related sub-communities of practice and outcomes. Consequently, socially constructed and individual memory models are necessary to integrate different metaphors according to the multi-context theory, which extends the understanding of the diversity between the cultural backgrounds of individuals and groups.

“…Paradoxes refer to "contradictory yet interrelated elements" (Smith and Lewis 2011, p. 389) present in interorganizational relationships (IORs), regardless of whether actors recognize them or not. Studies have considered a set of paradoxes in IORs, such as the following: knowledge sharing and knowledge protection (Dhayanithy and Mukherjee 2020;Majchrzak 2008, 2016); unity and diversity (Berthod et al 2017;Saz-Carranza and Ospina 2011); flexibility and rigidity (Zheng et al 2019;Vangen 2017;Vangen and Winchester 2014); autonomy and accountability (Vangen 2017;Berthod et al 2017); and exploration-exploitation (Sun and Lo 2014;Beckman et al 2004;Úbeda-García et al 2019;Im and Rai 2008). More recently, the paradox between cooperation and competition has drawn the attention of researchers because of its potential to trigger tensions and contribute to relationship vulnerability (Gernsheimer et al 2021;Munten et al 2021).…”

This paper examines the literature on paradoxes and tensions in interorganizational relationships (IORs) and identifies how such tensions are managed in interorganizational settings. In a systematic literature review, we analyzed 95 papers published between 1997 and 2021 on the subject of paradoxes in IORs. The sample showed a variety of paradoxes occurring in different interorganizational contexts, such as knowledge sharing and protection, short- and long-term orientation, and exploration and exploitation. The diversity of such paradoxes has led to crescent interest in cooperation. Our main results show that contextual factors and management practices influence the balance between paradoxes. Although the particular context of each IOR may be unique in terms of balancing paradoxical elements, we identified a set of “pre-tension practices” and “post-tension practices” which may help avoid the emergence of tensions or reduce their adverse effects. The findings of our systematic literature review have also enabled us to propose future research avenues concerning managing tensions in IORs, for instance, the link between paradoxes and IOR performance.
