TY - JOUR T1 - Horizontal Competition and Interorganizational Exchange Partner Selection: An Analysis of Major League Baseball Player Trades JF - Strategic Organization Y1 - 2019 A1 - Barden,Jeffrey A1 - Vestal,Alex KW - MBA KW - Strategy & Entrepreneurship AB - This study examines the influence of horizontal competition on interorganizational exchange. Interorganizational competition is a multidimensional construct that can influence exchange in multiple, sometimes countervailing ways. With an analysis of Major League Baseball player trades, we examine the influences of three components of competition – goal conflict, rivalry, and competitive interaction – on interorganizational exchange partner selection. We find that that goal conflict reduces the hazard rate of exchange between organizations, but competitive interaction increases it. Moreover, we find evidence that prior exchange moderates the competition-exchange relationship by reducing the perceived risks and information benefits of exchange with a competitor. We do not find evidence that interorganizational rivalry shapes subsequent exchange behavior. U2 - a U4 - 92549138432 ID - 92549138432 ER -
