Abstract
There is a growing interest in intra- and interorganizational network dynamics. The central question in the latter domain is, ‘‘How do firms choose collaborative partners given their pre-sent network configuration, their goals, and characteristics, to get a strategic network posi-tion?’ ’ We introduce actor-oriented network models as a method to describe and explain the development of interorganizational collaboration networks. The models are applied to longitu-dinal data about collaborative agreements within the genomics industry.
