Understanding the Cross-Level Embeddedness of Interfirm Partnership Formation
区分了环境、组织间和双边三个层次的嵌入性，强调它们在企业新伙伴关系形成中的交互作用，对研究企业合作网络的学者有参考价值。
This paper suggests a cross-level understanding of the embeddedness of interfirm partnering in the context of the formation of new partnerships. It makes a critical distinction among environmental embeddedness, interorganizational embeddedness, and dyadic embeddedness, stressing the importance of understanding the interaction of these different levels of embeddedness. This focus on the complex interaction effects of different levels of embeddedness of interfirm partnering sets this contribution apart from previous work in the field.
