SUMMARY:Murat Tarakci\, PhD\, Rotterdam School of Business\, Erasmus Univer
 sity
DESCRIPTION: \n\nAbstract Firms are interconnected within a social structur
 e of ongoing\nrelationships that can facilitate\, control or hamper their 
 economic\nexchanges. The embeddedness theory proposes that firms should\nc
 ultivate a mix of arm’s length and embedded relationships within\ntheir 
 network structure. We revisit this proposition along a\nbehavioral perspec
 tive. In particular\, we propose that firms may\ndiffer in their motives f
 or choosing network partners (i.e.\,\ntransactional and relational motives
 )\, and underscore the importance\nof matching a firm’s network structur
 e with its behavioral motives.\nUsing the survey data on firm-bank lending
  relationships collected\nfrom 4240 U.S. firms with fewer than 500 employe
 es\, we found that only\nfirms that chose their partners based on transact
 ional motives\nbenefited from balancing arm’s length and embedded relati
 onships.\nSuch a mix of ties was in fact detrimental to firms that selecte
 d\ntheir partners with relational motives.\n\nMurat Tarakci is an Associat
 e Professor of Innovation Management at\nthe Rotterdam School of Managemen

 ganizations\, and takes a\nbehavioral approach. In particular\, he examine
 s what motivates\nmanagers’ search for new strategic initiatives\, and h
 ow managerial\npower and leadership affect generating novel ideas. His res
 earch has\nbeen published or accepted for publication in Strategic Managem
