Social networks and the adverse selection problem in agency relationships

RETRACTED: The relationship between brokers’ influence, strength of ties and NPD project outcomes in innovation‐driven horizontal networks

“…He defined the strength of a tie as a combination of the amount of time, the emotional intensity, the intimacy (mutual confiding) and the reciprocal services which characterize a tie. Discussions in the literature lead us to believe that for a horizontal network to be successful, the ties between members must be strong, long term in nature and must be characterized by close relationships or little relational distance (Dahlstrom and Ingram, 2003). For example, Gassenheimer et al (1998) argued that the existence of minimal relational distance and strong ties between network members will be evidenced by altruistic behavior, norms of group solidarity, harmonization of members' interests based on mutual goals, extensive tolerance, interdependency between members and the display of non-coercive behavior by the leadership in interacting with members.…”

“…In successful networks, the ties between members will be strong and are characterized by close relationships or little relational distance with high levels of trust (Dahlstrom and Ingram, 2003). Yli-Renko et al (2001) investigated the relationship between social capital, knowledge acquisition and knowledge exploitation in networked young technology-based firms.…”

“…It has been suggested that the level of the ties between members in networks is characterized by the closeness of the relationships between members and the relational distance between them and that strong ties are critical to the success of a network (Gassenheimer et al, 1998;Dahlstrom and Ingram, 2003). However, there is a dearth of empirical studies that investigate the links between strength of ties and performance outcomes such as new product development project outcomes in horizontal networks.…”

The relationship between convention hosts and professional conference organizers

“…Convention organizers in general, or the overarching convention association body in particular, can reduce their level of risk through the establishment of a comprehensive information collection strategy to identify the capabilities and characteristics of the ideal PCO (Dahlstrom and Ingram, 2003). In particular, the contract needs to disclose the relationship a PCO may have with a venue and/or state clearly the commission PCO receives from hotels or other service contractors.…”

Factors influencing Japanese auto suppliers’ predictions about the future of new technologies – An exploratory study of electric vehicles

“…This does not necessarily imply that the productivity issues discussed in this context are unrelated to next-generation technologies. Frequent high-level interactions strengthen the mutual ties among the associations (Dahlstrom and Ingram, 2003;McFadyen and Cannella, 2004;Oke and Idiagbon-Oke, 2010). As a result, the level of social capital among association members also increases, rendering the associations less likely to escape the relationships built in the context of internal combustion vehicles (Gargiulo and Benassi, 2000) owing to the fear of forfeiting the relationship-specific assets amassed over many years (Anderson and Jap, 2005;Poppo et al, 2008).…”
