The highly regarded and prestigious, Academy of Management Journal, AMJ, published a research article by our Professor Dr. Sam Holloway. We are thrilled to share this honor and congratulate Dr. Holloway on this outstanding achievement. He wrote, ‘Friends and Profits Don’t Mix: The Performance Implications of Repeated Partnerships’ with Dr. Anne Parmigiani from the University of Oregon. This paper describes how “firms use repeated partnerships to gain benefits of shared experience such as improved coordination, collaboration, and adaptation. However, there are downsides to partnering repeatedly, including vulnerability to opportunistic partners upon whom the firm becomes dependent, muted efficiency incentives, and overlooking better options” (quoted in the AMJ, abstract). The research publication details are below.
Once again, we congratulate Dr. Holloway on his achievement and hard work in placing the University of Portland at a higher point of distinction with other institutions such as the University of Michigan, University of Colorado and University of North Carolina who were among those in this publication.
