There is empirical evidence from a range of disciplines that as the connectivity of a network increases, we observe an … than in the system with lower degrees of connectivity. We are therefore concerned with systems whose properties are not … static but which evolve dynamically over time. The focus in this paper, motivated by the empirical examples, is on networks …

forces termed as connectivity and receptivity. The former measures the number of connections in place among the agents in the … structural characteristics of innovation networks as communication systems. …

In this paper we show the benefits of regional connectivity and specialization to growth. Starting with one region we … connectivity infrastructure implemented by satellite, through which the 'Great Connector' (GC) is able to add new regions to the …

Recent studies have shown that the structure and connectivity properties of networks have important consequences for … and performance of these networks can be enormously enhanced by judicious manipulation of connectivity properties. We … performance and efficiency of networks. We examine this question in two specific contexts, the load-bearing properties of a …

While the effect of this institutional order on the … revenue growth of new ventures is negative, a network’s structural holes have a positive effect on the revenue growth …
