Alliance Block Building and Breaking:The Role of Technological Profiles in Determining the Likelihood of Clique Spanning Ties
Clique spanning ties can be expected to have strategic advantages for firms maneuvering themselves in a position as broker between two dense regions of firms. In a sample of semiconductor cliques ( ASIC) from 1987 to 2000 we examined the independent effects of technological-, firm-, ego network-, and clique level characteristics on the formation of new cliques spanning ties. We found strong evidence that technology is a reason to restructure alliance networks by establishing new ties that cut across cliques.
