The collapse and reemergence of networks within and between Republics of the Former Soviet Union
研究了爱沙尼亚在苏联解体前后企业供应链网络的变化，发现独立前网络结构不同的企业绩效差异显著，独立后成功企业更早建立了以爱沙尼亚为中心的网络。
A large body of research explores the characteristics of networks in Western economies. This study primarily analyzes supply networks in Estonia before and after the breakup of the former Soviet Union and the impact of networks on firm performance. Of particular interest is whether firms which had to reestablish networks were better off than those which were able to sustain previously established networks. Significant differences were found in the pre-independence network structures of high and low performing firms. After independence, network structures were not significantly different, with linkages to the former Soviet Union severed for both groups. Successful firms were found to have Estonia-centered customer and supply networks existing before independence, while unsuccessful firms pre-independence networks centered on the Soviet Union.
