研究目的本研究旨在探讨“网络逻辑”的变化，即行为者对网络的社会认知观点。这些逻辑为组织提供了如何在业务网络中采取行动的模板。本研究探讨网路逻辑变迁的原因、过程以及变迁的阶段。设计/方法/方式-这项研究依赖于内容分析，使用文本数据从报纸文章的全球零售商进入日本零售业。三种不同的逻辑被发现来描述零售商的行动。其中两个逻辑与包括网络逻辑在内的制度和战略逻辑有关，而第三个逻辑与制度工程有关，即创造、维持和破坏制度的行动。结果-在日本零售业的网络逻辑的转变，分析确定了四个阶段：政治化，反思，建立和评估。调整和规范逻辑的变化是全球零售商进入日本市场的制度性工作的结果。研究结果还包括关于网络变化如何通过业务参与者之间的互动进展的实证描述。此外，与规范性和规范性逻辑相比，文化认知逻辑更难受到影响。独创性/价值-业务网络往往与网络逻辑的变化而改变。本研究通过探索网络逻辑变迁中宏观结构状态与微观事件之间的相互作用，丰富了产业网络变迁的相关文献。
Purpose This study aims to examine changes in “network logics” that refer to cognitive views socially accepted by actors about the network. These logics provide organizations with templates on how to act in business networks. This study investigates the causes and processes of network logic changes and the phases in the changes. Design/methodology/approach This study relies on content analysis using text data from newspaper articles on global retailers entering the Japanese retail industry. Three different logics were found to describe the actions of the retailers. Two of the logics are related to institutional and strategic logics including network logics, while the third is associated with institutional works that mean actions to create, maintain and disrupt institutions. Findings With regard to transitions in network logics in the Japanese retail industry, the analysis identified four phases: politicization, reflection, establishment and evaluation. Changes in regulative and normative logics were resulted from institutional works of the global retailers into the Japanese market. The findings also include empirical description about how network changes progress through interactions among business actors. Additionally, compared to the regulative and normative logics, it would be difficult to influence the cultural-cognitive logics. Originality/value Business networks often transform with changes in network logics. This study contributes to the literature on industrial network changes by exploring the interactions between macro-level structural states and micro-level events in network logic transitions.
