Strategy scholars have paid much attention to inter-organizational relationships as sources of competitive advantage. However, research at the dyadic, portfolio, and network level has largely grown in separate ways. This panel brings together four leading scholars to take stock of existing work bridging the dyadic, alliance portfolio, and network levels and explore theoretical and empirical opportunities for cross-fertilization across levels of analysis. The panelists will discuss what alliance scholars-both at the dyadic and portfolio level-could learn from a network perspective and what network studies could gain from a dyadic and portfolio focus, and whether specific issues in regard to the formation, management, and consequences of inter-organizational relationships are better addressed at a specific level of analysis.
We hope you will join us for this panel!
