How Organizational Field Networks Shape Interorganizational Tie-Formation Rates
提出组织场域网络概念，分析场域网络的密度、互惠性、集中度等属性如何非线性地影响战略联盟等组织间合作关系的形成速率，并给出可检验的命题。
We investigate the impact of communication in field-level networks on rates of formation of interorganizational collaborative ties, such as strategic alliances and joint ventures. After developing the concept of an organizational field network (“field-net”), we derive a set of testable propositions and corollaries that relate field-net properties, such as density, reciprocity, centralization, multiplexity, and hierarchy, to subsequent nonlinear changes in interorganizational tie-formation rates. We conclude by discussing aspects of empirical research for testing the empirical validity of these propositions.
