| Resumen: |
This article investigates the structural characteristics of firms that promote activities involving partners who coordinate with each other to achieve common or individual goals. The article also aims to verify empirically whether these activities generate advantages for companies embedded in relationships by examining the effects of industry, age and size on inter-firm network management activities (INMAs) in a sample of Spanish companies operating in several industries and belonging to networks. The results show differences according to the life cycle stage: growth or maturity. Only the relation between INMA and performance has been confirmed in both samples. The findings point to the need to consider the industrial environment when analysing firms' networking decisions because the situations they face differ in mature or growing industries. |
