| Abstract: | Applying a knowledge-based framework, this study analyzes changes in the structural position of firms within their research network. Analyzing longitudinal event history data for the complete German biotech population from 1995 to 2006, it is shown that the prior international alliance history matters for the status within a firms network. Alliances with international partners and those with partners from a variety of countries enhance the subsequent movement towards a more central position (herein as: cnt-post.) in the research network. However, multi-partner alliances inhibit the subsequent movement towards a cnt-post., pointing to challenges in managing a portfolio of simultaneous alliances etc. |
