Resumen
Las conexiones entre empresas denominadas board interlock permiten obtener recursos y crear relaciones. Esta práctica, sea intencionada o no, genera conexiones que involucran el núcleo estratégico de la empresa. Así, existe un canal para el flujo de información estratégica, incluso entre competidores. Estudios previos han identificado la creación de estas conexiones, pero sin explorar a nivel de los individuos. Mediante un análisis de redes sociales (n=2184), se presentan resultados que contribuyen a identificar diferentes contextos nacionales (Estados Unidos y Alemania), donde las redes interpersonales tienen estructuras similares, aunque las redes interorganizacionales son estructuralmente diferentes. Este hallazgo es fundamental para mapear el control acerca del flujo de información estratégica. Finalmente, se identifica un nuevo papel de intermediaciones en tríadas a partir del análisis contextual de la figura del bróker en una relación de board interlock.
