Determinants of Interorganizational Relationships: Integration and Future Directions
整合了组织间关系文献,提炼出六种可推广的关系形成决定因素,并用于预测六种组织间关系类型,为未来研究提出假设,有助于理解组织为何建立关系。
This article integrates the literature on interorganizational relationships into six generalizable determinants of relationship formation, applies these determinants to the prediction of six types of interorganizational relations, and proposes hypotheses for future research that specify the conditions under which each determinant will he more likely to predict different types of relations. These determinants provide the basis for a general theory of interorganizational relationships and suggest that alternative theoretical perspectives on relationship formation provide important but only partial insights into why organizations enter into relationships with one another.
