Abstract

Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings includes abstracts of all papers and symposia presented at the annual conference, plus 6-page abridged versions of the “Best Papers” accepted for inclusion in the program (approximately 10%). Papers published in the Proceedings are abridged because presenting papers at their full length could preclude subsequent journal publication.

Using network data containing firm level and processing by UCINET software, we first compute network property variables and then draw digraphs of the global semiconductor industry. The empirical result shows that, in the global semiconductor industry, a firm's network position advantages (betweeness centrality and indegree prestige but not outdegree prestige) will influence the firm's technological innovation and its hierarchy position will moderate the above relationship. Implications of the results and suggestions for further research are discussed.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Vol. 2006, No. 1 Permissions Metrics in the past 12 months History Published online 30 November 2017 Published in print 1 August 2006 InformationCopyright of Academy of Management Journal is the property of Academy of Management and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder’s express written permission.
