DESCRIPTION:Prof. Anne Parmigiani\, University of Oregon\n"Friends and Pro
 fits Don’t Mix: The Performance Implications of Repeated Partnerships"Ab
 stract\nFirms use repeated partnerships to gain the benefits of shared exp
 erience such as improved coordination\, collaboration\, and adaptation. Ho
 wever\, there are downsides to partnering repeatedly\, including vulnerabi
 lity to opportunistic partners upon whom the firm becomes dependent\, mute
 d efficiency incentives\, and overlooking better options. This paper unpac
 ks the effects of repeated partnerships by investigating their impact on t
 wo distinct types of performance: revenue and profitability. To understand
  repeated partnerships\, we analyze a unique dataset of 580 partnerships t
 hat completed 144 bridge construction projects. Controlling for project at
 tributes that affect the level of outsourcing\, we posit that a greater pr
 oportion of repeated partners and deeper relationships with these partners
  will result in greater revenue through winning bids\, but that the prime 
 contractor will not necessarily garner higher profits. We find support for
  these predictions\, highlighting the trade-offs of repeated partnerships.
