Abstract :
Network competence is the base of creating and maintaining sustainable competitive advantage. The paper explains the internal mechanism between network competence and firm performance. We separately discuss the definition of network competence, network learning and network power, and analyze the relationship among network competence, network learning, network power and firm performance. We also promote a conceptual framework and the hypothesis, and look forward to future study.
