Abstract

This study offers a comprehensive view of the network centrality–firm performance relationship through a meta-analysis. Drawing on a data set of 1,699 effect sizes retrieved from 147 studies published during 2000–2022, the authors establish a positive association between degree, closeness, betweenness, and eigenvector measures of centrality with firm performance on average. Nevertheless, these measures show significant differences in their effectiveness across various contexts. While the associations of degree, closeness, and betweenness centralities with firm performance have diminished over time, the relationship between eigenvector centrality and performance has strengthened. Moreover, the linkage between degree centrality and overall performance is more pronounced in customer-oriented and larger markets, whereas closeness centrality demonstrates a stronger relationship with overall performance in larger markets. Also, social trust amplifies the relationships of degree, closeness, and betweenness centralities with overall performance. Furthermore, the centrality–performance linkage and the moderating effects of the contingency factors depend at least partially on the type of network (i.e., board interlock vs. alliance vs. supplier–customer) and the measure of firm performance used (i.e., innovation vs. financial outcomes). Incorporating these factors into social network analyses helps managers refine their networking strategies and enables scholars to improve the generalizability of their findings.

网络中心性与公司业绩:荟萃分析
本研究通过荟萃分析,对网络中心度与企业绩效之间的关系进行了全面探讨。作者利用从 2000-2022 年间发表的 147 项研究中检索到的 1,699 个效应大小数据集,确定了中心度的度数、接近度、间度和特征向量与企业绩效之间的平均正相关关系。然而,这些指标在不同情况下的有效性存在显著差异。随着时间的推移,程度中心度、亲密度中心度和间度中心度与公司业绩之间的联系有所减弱,而特征向量中心度与业绩之间的关系则有所加强。此外,在以客户为导向和规模较大的市场中,程度中心性与整体绩效之间的联系更为明显,而在规模较大的市场中,亲近中心性与整体绩效之间的关系更为密切。同时,社会信任会放大程度中心性、亲密度中心性和间度中心性与总体绩效的关系。此外,中心度与绩效之间的联系以及权变因素的调节作用至少部分取决于网络的类型(即董事会联锁与联盟与供应商-客户)以及所使用的企业绩效衡量标准(即创新与财务结果)。将这些因素纳入社会网络分析有助于管理者完善其网络战略,并使学者们能够提高研究结果的普遍性。

期刊介绍: JAMS, also known as The Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between scholarly research and practical application in the realm of marketing. Its primary objective is to study and enhance marketing practices by publishing research-driven articles. When manuscripts are submitted to JAMS for publication, they are evaluated based on their potential to contribute to the advancement of marketing science and practice.
