“…The concept of organizational slack has been studied most intensively and rigorously as a basis for the strategic flexibility of organizations (e.g., Das, 1995;Evans, 1991;Greenley & Oktemgil, 1998, p. 379;Tienari & Tainio, 1999;Volberda, 1998) and interorganizational networks (Young-Ybarra & Wiersema, 1999, p. 440).
