Structuring Inter-firm Relationships: A Metaanalytic Approach
Abstract
In this paper we use a multi-disciplinary perspective to identify two fundamental dimensions which characterize the structuring of inter-firm relations: contractual coordination and procedural coordination. Contractual coordination refers to the mutual exchange of rights among the parties involved. Procedural coordination refers to the mutual exchange of information among the parties. Through a quantitative meta-analysis of 32 empirical studies we show that both dimensions are influenced by the same underlying constructs; that they fulfil different but complementary roles in the governance of the relationship; and how their systemic fit impacts the performance of the relationship. These results are discussed to highlight their implications for the design of inter-organizational research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
