Integrating Research on Interorganizational Networks and Ecosystems
整合了组织间网络与生态系统两个独立发展的研究领域,强调生态系统的模块化和互补性,并用网络分析工具绘制组件相互依赖模式,为组织网络和生态系统研究注入新活力。
Organizations are simultaneously embedded in inter-organizational networks and ecosystems, yet research on networks and ecosystems developed in isolation. The aim of this partial integration is to bring new energy into maturing research on organizational networks and greater structure to the burgeoning research on ecosystems. In this article, we underlie similarities and differences between networks and ecosystems; bring the ecosystems’ focus on modularity and complementarity at the forefront of inter-organizational research while enriching ecosystems scholarship with systematic applications of network analytic tools to map the patterns of component interdependencies.
