An Emergent Theory of Structure and Outcomes in Small-Firm Strategic Manufacturing Networks
比较美国木制品行业两个中小企业制造网络，通过定性和调查数据，结合网络分析方法，提出关于网络结构和结果的关键模型与可检验命题。
This article presents the results of a comparative study of two networks of small- to medium-sized manufacturing enterprises in the U.S. wood products industry. Qualitative and survey data were collected from a sample of active participants in each network as well as from a sample of firms that were not network members (market firms) in the same industry. Using both qualitative and network analysis methodologies, we developed a model and testable propositions concerning key aspects of network structure and outcomes.
