Learning in Dynamic Inter-Firm Networks: The Efficacy of Multiple Contacts
研究了企业间合作中效率导向与学习导向网络行为对技术绩效的影响，发现动态环境下探索性网络的学习策略比利用性网络的效率策略更有效。
This paper examines the relevance of both efficiency-based and learning-based network behaviour in the context of inter-firm partnering. The effect of these different forms of network behaviour on company performance is analyzed for companies in the international computer industry. Strategies associated with learning through so-called exploratory networks appear to generate a greater impact on technological performance in a dynamic environment than efficiency strategies through exploitative networks.
