By using business groups in emerging economies as the organizational lens and adopting stochastic frontier estimation to measure firm capabilities, we argue that the effect of intra-group networks on the development of the focal affiliate's capabilities is contingent upon types of network ties as well as the structure of intra-group networks in which it is embedded. We find that in loosely connected networks of operating ties and investment ties, affiliates in the central of the network are well-positioned to access new ideas, information, and resources both within and outside the group. Meanwhile, central affiliates in a loose network of director ties and peripheral affiliates in a dense network of director ties may benefit from efficient resource-sharing and internal coordination. | Source Title: | Academy of Management 2006 Annual Meeting: Knowledge, Action and the Public Concern, AOM 2006 | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/44359 |
