Results of hypothesis testing
| H# | Hypothesis summary | Supported? |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The more central is a firm in its network, the more it will engage in competitive actions | ☑ |
| 2 | The more structurally autonomous is a firm in its network, the more it will engage in competitive actions | ☐ |
| 3 | The more a firm is structurally equivalent to other nodes in a network, the less it will engage in competitive actions | ☑ |
| 4 | The denser the network, the less that firms within that network will engage in competitive actions | ☐ |
| 5 | Network density moderates the relationship between firm centrality and competitive action, such that the relationship between centrality and competitive action is weaker when network density is higher than when it is lower | ☑ |
| 6 | Network density moderates the relationship between firm structural autonomy and competitive action, such that the relationship between structural autonomy and competitive action is stronger when network density is higher than when it is lower | ☑ |
| 7 | Network density moderates the relationship between structural equivalence and competitive action, such that the relationship between structural equivalence and competitive action is weakened when network density is higher than when it is lower | ☑ |
