The Sources and Consequences of Embeddedness for the Economic Performance of Organizations: The Network Effect

L'A. s'efforce de comprendre comment les structures sociales influent sur la performance economique. Il s'interesse plus particulierement a la notion d'« enracinement ». Il montre que celle-ci permet de saisir comment les relations sociales modelent l'activite economique. Il porte de meme son attention sur les reseaux sociaux qui jouent un role important en cette affaire. Il examine en premier lieu le concept d'enracinement structurel. Il compare ensuite les performances economiques d'entreprises americaines qui fonctionnent en reseaux avec les resultats d'activite d'entreprises qui n'operent que par le biais du marche. Il presente, a ce propos, un certain nombre de donnees collectees aux Etats-Unis, a New York entre 1990 et 1991
