TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine how leaders' prior exchange experiences influence the likelihood of subsequent interorganizational exchange and develop a micro-level model of organization-level relations that accounts for nodal multiplexity.
Abstract: Drawing on the concept of relational embeddedness and the associated mechanisms of mutual understanding, trust, and commitment, we examine how leaders' prior exchange experiences influence the likelihood of subsequent interorganizational exchange. We begin to develop a microlevel model of organization-level relations that accounts for nodal multiplexity. In data on baseball player trades, we found that individual leaders' ties affected exchanges less than did an organization's other ties. The sharing of exchange experiences by organizations and their current leaders increased the influences of those experiences on exchange behavior. Thus, leaders have more influence within their organizational contexts than in isolation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate theoretically how spatial embeddedness of learning and knowledge creation might be challenged by alternative organisational forms (i.e. temporary organisations) and present development coalitions as an alternative to projects as a form of temporary organisation.
Abstract: It is the overall aim of this article to investigate theoretically how spatial embeddedness of learning and knowledge creation might be challenged by alternative organisational forms (i.e. temporary organisations). The article presents development coalitions as an alternative to projects as a form of temporary organisation. They are potentially able to combine the promotion of radical change with collective and localised learning, thus eliminating some of the characteristic shortcomings of project organizations with regard to collective learning and transfer of knowledge.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the transnational activities of first and second-generation immigrant entrepreneurs in the Netherlands and show that embeddedness in transnational networks remains important for the second generation, yet the extent of it is less compared to the first generation.
Abstract: During the past decade or more, transnationalism has become a central concept in migration literature However, research on the question of whether the second generation is transnationally involved remains limited, and is mainly focused on the cultural and not on the economic domain of transnationalism In this article I explore the transnational activities of first- and second-generation immigrant entrepreneurs in the Netherlands Analysis shows that embeddedness in transnational networks remains important for the second generation, yet the extent of it is less compared to the first generation This study points to the fact that not every entrepreneur is or can be transnationally active; ‘transnational capital’, which not everyone automatically possesses, is needed to be able to do business with the country of origin
