“…These results are not surprising, since climate and trust constitute important concerns in the network literature. Indeed, Brass et al [13] pointed out that the success of ties (the distinctive element of network) relies on the presence of trust and that trust could be facilitated by previous ties or collaboration. Networks and collaboration require a lot of energy to resolve conflicts and to maintain harmony and a common language and vision among its members.…”

“…Networks are deemed a useful way to address complex or difficult problems [9][10][11][12], allowing the achievement of goals that may not be possible when attempted by separate entities [13]. Moreover, a powerful rationale underlying networks is that cooperation between constituencies will produce outcomes that are more favorable to both parties than when the parties compete [14,15].…”

Analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the network form of organization of traumatic brain injury service delivery systems

The network form of organization seems particularly sensitive to environmental issues, such as resource acquisition and legitimacy. The authors suggest that the network form of organization is a suitable way to increase the continuity of TBI care if the following criteria are met: (1) expectations toward network effectiveness to increase continuity of care are moderate and realistic; (2) sufficient resources are devoted to the design, implementation, and maintenance of the network; (3) a network's existence and actions are deemed legitimate by community and organization member partners; and (4) there is a good collaborative climate between the organizations.

“…La capacité d'une entreprise à tirer parti de son appartenance à un réseau dépend notamment de sa capacité relationnelle et de sa position structurelle (Li et al, 2013). De nombreuses recherches ont montré que des entreprises en position centrale dans un réseau avaient des avantages notamment en termes de capital social (Wouter et Elfring 2008) et une performance plus importante (Brass et al, 2004). Cette position permet notamment de mieux maîtriser les flux d'information et de ressources (Powell et al, 1996), d'accéder à des ressources ayant une plus grande valeur stratégique (Tsai, 2001) (Podolny, 2001) et donc une capacité plus grande à saisir des opportunités ou à nouer des liens à l'extérieur.…”

Une des alternatives au développement des petites entreprises du luxe passe par la participation à des stratégies collectives. La recherche de singularité inhérente à l’entrepreneur du luxe trouve une traduction par un positionnement particulier au sein de la stratégie collective. Notre travail propose de renouveler l’approche du luxe en proposant une double analyse croisant la problématique des ressources et l’analyse structurale des réseaux. En opposition avec l’idée développée qu’une position centrale est favorable, il apparaît pour l’entrepreneur du luxe, qu’une position favorable en termes de singularité se situe en périphérie.

“…The role of social networks for learning and innovation has been studied in a number of contexts (see review by Brass et al, 2004). Through work on the topic over the past decade or so, network scholars have by now established the importance of examining the role of networks for organizational learning, moving beyond the notion that innovative ideas are generated within organizational hierarchies (Ahuja, 2000).…”

This research examines the awareness of evidence based practices by the public organizations that fund services in the North American Quitline Consortium (NAQC). NAQC is a large, publicly funded, goal-directed “whole network,” spanning both Canada and the U.S., working to get people to quit smoking. Building on prior research on the dissemination and diffusion of innovation and evidence based practices, and considering differences between network ties that are homophilous versus instrumental, we found that awareness of evidence based practices was highest for quitline funders that were strongly connected directly to researchers and indirectly to the network administrative organization, controlling for quitline spending per capita and decision making locus of control. The findings support the importance of maintaining instrumental (a technical-rational argument) rather than homophilous ties for acquisition of evidence based practice knowledge. The findings also offer ideas for how public networks might be designed and governed to enhance the likelihood that the organizations in the network are better aware of what evidence based practices exist.
