冗余资源、企业网络位置与多元化战略

Organizational Slack,Network Position and Diversification Strategy

以875家上市公司的连锁董事网络为研究样本,讨论了冗余资源、企业网络位置和多元化战略的关系。将冗余资源区分为可用冗余、可恢复冗余和潜在冗余3类;将网络位置分为网络的中心位置和网络的中介位置2个维度,并采用中心度指标和结构洞指标对企业的网络位置进行测量。研究结果表明,不同类型的冗余资源均与企业多元化程度显著正相关,而网络位置所发挥的调节作用却因冗余资源的类型而有所区别。

An empirical research based on a sample of 875 listed manufacturing companies is conducted, and the relationship among organizational slack, network position and diversification strategy is discussed in the context of interlocking directorate network. Organizational slack is classified as available slack, recoverable slack and potential slack. Degree centrality and structure holes are employed in measuring central position and broker position. The empirical results indicate that organizational slack and diversification are positively related and the moderating effects of network position de pend on different type of organizational slack.
