Resumen

Aunque es bastante habitual aplicar el análisis de redes para estudiar la cooperación y/o la competencia en los estudios de economía organizativa con el fin de esbozar estrategias para la creación de redes eficaces en términos de innovación, rendimiento u otros aspectos, este artículo pretende, en cambio, señalar las tensiones y dialécticas subyacentes en la incrustación capitalista de las redes industriales. El análisis visual de la red de la industria papelera neerlandesa ilustra cómo cambió la cooperación ante las crecientes sospechas y la persecución real de las prácticas colusorias. Mientras que, por un lado, los esfuerzos por fortalecer la cooperación interorganizacional para aliviar las presiones competitivas a veces se ven amenazados por el creciente dominio de las empresas transnacionales en la red, el estudio también muestra cómo las pequeñas y medianas empresas ocupan posiciones estructurales ventajosas de puente entre los conglomerados densamente conectados de la red.
