全球企业精英在哪里？本地与非本地连锁董事会的大规模网络研究
Where is the global corporate elite? A large-scale network study of local and nonlocal interlocking directorates
摘要：
随着时间的推移，商业精英们会重新配置他们的组织中心，从城市层面到国家层面，甚至更远。我们问什么是当前的精英组织的水平，并提出了一个新的理论和实证方法来回答这个问题。基于本地和非本地联系之间的普遍区别，我们使用网络分析和社区发现来剖析超过500万家公司之间的连锁董事会全球网络。我们发现，精英的方向确实是从国家到跨国平面的变化，但我们注册在世界不同地区的相当大的异质性。在某些地区，企业界是沿国界组织起来的，而在其他地区，组织的中心是在城市一级或国际一级。伦敦主导着全球企业精英网络。我们的研究结果强调，对企业精英的研究需要一种对超越民族国家范围的组织水平敏感的方法。
英文摘要：
Business elites reconfigure their locus of organization over time, from the city level, to the national level, and beyond. We ask what the current level of elite organization is and propose a novel theoretical and empirical approach to answer this question. Building on the universal distinction between local and nonlocal ties we use network analysis and community detection to dissect the global network of interlocking directorates among over five million firms. We find that elite orientation is indeed changing from the national to the transnational plane, but we register a considerable heterogeneity across different regions in the world. In some regions the business communities are organized along national borders, whereas in other areas the locus of organization is at the city level or international level. London dominates the global corporate elite network. Our findings underscore that the study of corporate elites requires an approach that is sensitive to levels of organization that go beyond the confines of nation states.
