An Actor-Oriented Dynamic Network Approach
提出面向行动者的网络模型，用于描述和解释组织间合作网络的发展，并应用于基因组学产业的纵向合作数据，帮助理解企业如何选择合作伙伴以获得战略网络位置。
There is a growing interest in intra- and interorganizational network dynamics. The central question in the latter domain is, ``How do firms choose collaborative partners given their present network configuration, their goals, and characteristics to get a strategic network position?'' We introduce actor-oriented network models as a method to describe and explain the development of interorganizational collaboration networks. The models are applied to longitudinal data about collaborative agreements within the genomics industry.
