- W3125854788 abstract "ABSTRACT Although there is substantial agreement on the importance of firm networks and social capital for new startup firms, there has been little work examining how they develop in an emerging industry and how they change over time. To answer these questions, we examine changes in the firm networks of a sample of leading US Internet firms over the period 1990-2000. Our results suggest that new firms exploit structural holes during early phase of industry but that social capital becomes increasingly important as the industry matures. INTRODUCTION There is now a substantial literature on the importance of firm networks to acquire critical resources in entrepreneurial firms (e. g., Aldrich & Zimmer, 1985; Dubini & Aldrich, 1991; Starr & MacMillan, 1990; Zhao & Aram, 1995). However, there is considerably less agreement on how networks evolve in an emerging industry and what firm characteristics are most advantageous at different stages. On the one hand, several studies show that emerging firms tend to rely initially on social capital, for example, ties with entrepreneurs' family members and friends to gain the key resources needed to establish firm viability (e.g., Larson and Starr, 1993). An opposing view argues instead that firms that bridge structural holes within networks gain the most advantage (e.g. Burt, 1992; Zaheer et al., 2005). Therefore, two distinct outcomes are predicted depending on the strategies adopted by firms. Strategies built solely on enhancing social capital would lead to networks with highly dense local environments. If, on the other hand, firms mainly try to pursue a strategy of filling structural holes in their own network, less densely connected local environments would result. As some researchers (e.g. Aldrich and Reese, 1993) have argued, a more dynamic approach may help to reconcile these two different network perspectives. For instance, Hite and Hesterly (2001) considered the question of whether cohesive networks of socially embedded ties or sparse networks rich in structural holes are more conducive to the success of new firms and proposed that as firms emerge, their networks consist primarily of socially embedded ties drawn from dense, cohesive sets of connections but as firms move into the early growth stage, their networks evolve toward more ties based on a calculation of economic costs and benefits. Other researchers examining interfirm networks (Verspagen and Duysters, 2004; Baum et al., 2002; Gulati and Gargiulo, 1999; Kogut and Walker, 2001; Nohria and Garcia-Pont, 1991; Walker et al., 1997) have also suggested that social capital and structural hole effects vary, in some cases creating “small worlds”, characterized by highly clustering but at the same time, short path length between any two sites. However, there appears to have been little work that examines how social capital and structural holes change in industries over time and how these changes create opportunities for new firms. Therefore, this paper makes a start by examining how the alliance network of leading firms in the emerging Internet industry changes over time and how incumbent and startup firms have taken advantage of the opportunities created." @default.
