6. Conclusions and suggestions for further research
Firms can be particularly active in changing networks to improve their strategic position. By combining the network approach to strategizing with the capabilities-based approach to replication, this study offers both theoretical and managerial contributions. First, this study shows that a strategy that focuses on improving a firm's performance through the change of its position in a network can take the form of a replication of a particular configuration of resources and activities that involves various actors.
