The Co-evolution of Organizational and Network Structure: The Role of Multilevel Mixing and Closure Mechanisms

We present a dynamic multilevel framework for analyzing the mutual dependence of change in interorganizational networks and internal organizational structure. Change occurring at the former (intero...
