Abstract

De Socio M. Marginalization of sunset firms in regime coalitions: a social network analysis, Regional Studies. Business leaders and organizations are central to the formation and maintenance of urban regimes. Business communities are not monolithic, however, and they vary in their composition of economic activities and industry sectors, and in the resources they command. Differentiation in business community resources has implications for regime networks, particularly in cities where large percentages of their economic base are comprised of industries in decline. Utilizing social network analysis, this paper finds that business leaders associated with traditional manufacturing are marginalized within the prevailing regime networks of two United States 'rustbelt' cities in favour of leaders associated with newer, more stable, industries. [image omitted] De Socio M. La marginalisation des entreprises en perte de vitesse sous des coalitions politiques, Regional Studies. Les chefs d'entreprise et les organisations sont au coeur de l'etablissement et de le maintien des regimes regionaux. Cependant, les milieux d'affaires ne sont pas monolithiques, dont une variation de la structure de leurs activites economiques et de leurs secteurs industriels, et des ressources disponibles. La variation des ressources des milieux d'affaires a des implications pour les reseaux de regimes, surtout dans les grandes villes ou une proportion importante de la base economique comprend des industries en perte de vitesse. Employant une analyse des reseaux de relations sociales, cet article laisse voir que les chefs d'entreprise associes a l'industrie traditionnelle s'averent marginalises au sein des reseaux de regimes actuels de deux grandes villes aux Etats-Unis situees dans une 'ceinture d'industrie en declin', en faveur des chefs associes aux industries a la fois nouvelles et plus stables.

Marginalisierung absteigender Firmen in Regime-Koalitionen: eine soziale Netzwerkanalyse, Regional Studies. Bei der Bildung und Erhaltung urbaner Regime spielen Geschaftsfuhrer und Organisationen eine zentrale Rolle. Allerdings handelt es sich bei Geschaftsgemeinschaften nicht um monolithische Gebilde; vielmehr schwankt die Zusammensetzung ihrer wirtschaftlichen Aktivitaten und Industriesektoren sowie der von ihnen kontrollierten Ressourcen. Eine Differenzierung der Ressourcen der Geschaftsgemeinschaft wirkt sich auf die Regime-Netzwerke aus, insbesondere in Stadten, in denen ein grosser Anteil der Wirtschaftsbasis aus im Niedergang befindlichen Branchen besteht. In diesem Beitrag wird mit Hilfe einer sozialen Netzwerkanalyse festgestellt, dass in den vorherrschenden Regime-Netzwerken von zwei Stadten im 'Rust Belt' der USA die mit der traditionellen Produktion verknupften Geschaftsfuhrer zugunsten von Geschaftsfuhrern in neueren und stabileren Branchen marginalisiert werden.

Marginalizacion de empresas en declive en coaliciones de regimenes: analisis de las redes sociales, Regional Studies. Los lideres y organizaciones comerciales son indispensables para la formacion y el mantenimiento de regimenes urbanos. Sin embargo, las comunidades empresariales no son monoliticas y varian en su composicion de actividades economicas y sectores industriales, y en los recursos de los que disponen. Las diferencias entre los recursos de comunidades empresariales tienen repercusiones para las redes de regimenes, en particular en ciudades donde grandes porcentajes de su base economica estan formados por industrias en declive. Con ayuda de analisis de las redes sociales, en este articulo observamos que los lideres comerciales relacionados con la manufactura tradicional estan marginados dentro de las redes predominantes de regimenes de dos ciudades desindustrializadas estadounidenses a favor de los lideres asociados a industrias mas nuevas y mas estables.
