Techniques du commerce Résumé : We investigate the epistemology of trust in social networks. We posit trust as a special epistemic state that depends on actors' beliefs about each others' beliefs as well as about states of the world. It offers new ideas and tools for representing the core elements of trust both within dyads and larger groups and presents an approach that makes trust measurable in a noncircular and predictive, rather than merely postdictive, fashion. After advancing arguments for the importance of interactive belief systems to the successful coordination of behavior, we tune our investigation of trust by focusing on beliefs that are important to mobilization and coordination and show how trust functions to influence social capital arising from network structure. We present empirical evidence corroborating the importance of higher-order beliefs to understanding trust and the interactive analysis of trust to the likelihood of successful coordination.

Network-independent partner selection and the evolution of innovation networks / Joel A. C. Baum in Management science, Vol. 56 N° 11 (Novembre 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Management science > Vol. 56 N° 11 (Novembre 2010) . - pp. 2094-2110 Titre : Network-independent partner selection and the evolution of innovation networks Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Joel A. C. Baum, Auteur ; Robin Cowan, Auteur ; Nicolas Jonard, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : pp. 2094-2110 Note générale : Management Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Innovation  Networks  Strategic  alliances  Knowledge Index. décimale : 658 Organisation des entreprises. Techniques du commerce Résumé : Empirical research on strategic alliances has focused on the idea that partners are selected on the basis of social capital considerations. In this paper we emphasize instead the role of complementary knowledge stocks and knowledge dynamics, which have received surprisingly limited attention relative to social capital as forces behind the formation and dynamics of innovation networks. To marshal evidence in this regard, we design a simple model of partner selection in which firms ally for the purpose of learning and innovating, and in doing so create an industry network. We abstract completely from network-based structural and strategic motives for partner selection and focus instead on the idea that firms' knowledge bases must "fit" for joint learning and innovation to be possible, and thus for an alliance to be feasible. The striking result is that, despite containing no social capital considerations, this simple model replicates the firm conduct, network structure, and contingent effects of network position on performance observed and discussed in the empirical literature.
