مستخلص: Alliance portfolio diversity is a construct that is increasingly receiving attention in the literature as it has been linked to a firm's performance and innovation. Although recent studies have focused on analyzing how portfolio diversity affects performance, there is a need to address the factors that influence portfolio diversity as well. The purpose of this study was to test whether the number and strength of social capital connections play a role into the alliance portfolio diversity of a firm. To do so, two different levels of antecedents, top management team level and firm level, were examined. A sample of 300 randomly selected Standard & Poor's firms were analyzed by time-series regression. The results suggest that at both the firm- and top management team level, the number and strength of social capital connections held is positively related to the firm's alliance portfolio diversity. Implications for managers and researchers are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
