经济社会学的一个中心主题是强调真实的世界市场的复杂性和多样性，但许多经济社会结构的网络模型忽略了这一特征，而是依赖于程式化的一维特征。在这里，作者回到了经济社会学中结构多样性的基本观点。以印度的组织间所有权网络为例，他们发现了一个复合或“混合”的经济网络模型，结合了先前程式化模型的元素。该网络包含一个断开的外围符合密切的“交易”模型，一个semiperipheral的特点是小，密集的集群零星的链接，在“小世界”模型预测，最后一个嵌套的核心集群通过多个独立的路径连接。然后，作者展示了一个公司的中层结构内的位置是如何与人口特征，如年龄和行业的差异，在何种程度上，公司从事多元化和高价值的交流。
A central theme of economic sociology has been to highlight the complexity and diversity of real world markets, but many network models of economic social structure ignore this feature and rely instead on stylized one-dimensional characterizations. Here, the authors return to the basic insight of structural diversity in economic sociology. Using the Indian interorganizational ownership network as their case, they discover a composite—or “hybrid”—model of economic networks that combines elements of prior stylized models. The network contains a disconnected periphery conforming closely to a “transactional” model; a semiperiphery characterized by small, dense clusters with sporadic links, as predicted in “small world” models; and finally a nested core composed of clusters connected via multiple independent paths. The authors then show how a firm’s position within the mesolevel structure is associated with demographic features such as age and industry and differences in the extent to which firms engage in multiplex and high-value exchanges.
