Costly Ties: Social Capital as a Retardant of Network-Level Entrepreneurial Orientation
研究指出，战略多伙伴网络中的高层管理团队若与外部组织建立过多联系，会限制网络层面创业导向的形成，而高同质性和高学历的管理团队可弥补部分负面影响。
Challenging social capital research, we argue that network top management teams (s) established to support entrepreneurship in strategic multipartner networks should be careful in developing ties to outside organizations and networks. We suggest that such ties limit the network 's ability to engage in the strategy‐making processes needed to facilitate entrepreneurial orientation on a network level. Based on five‐year panel data from 53 formalized networks of small and medium‐sized enterprises, we demonstrate that homogenous and highly educated network s can compensate the negative effects of ties to other organizations, but not the negative effects of interlocking directorates.
