Moving Beyond Dyadic Ties: A Network Theory of Stakeholder Influences
利用社会网络分析构建利益相关者影响理论，解释组织如何应对多个相互依赖的利益相关者的同时影响，对管理者和学者理解组织与环境的复杂关系有参考价值。
Stakeholder theory development has increased in recent years, in part because of its emphasis on explaining and predicting how an organization functions with respect to the relationships and influences existing in its environment. Thus far. most researchers have concentrated on dyadic relationships between individual stakeholders and a focal organization. Using social network analysis, I construct in this article a theory of stakeholder influences, which accommodates multiple, interdependent stakeholder demands and predicts how organizations respond to the simultaneous influence of multiple stakeholders.
