Résumé
Les relations inter-organisationnelles connaissent une transition dans leurs formes, passant de simples relations d’alliances dyadiques à des relations réticulaires de plus en plus complexes. Cet article vise à appréhender les performances des firmes enchâssées dans des structures de réseaux en explorant les caractéristiques structurelles susceptibles d’expliquer l’effet de telles configurations sur les performances des firmes. Portant sur un échantillon de 1132 observations formées de 1112 alliances, notre étude longitudinale (2000 et 2015) concerne 47 réseaux formés par 87 entreprises appartenant à différents secteurs. L’analyse a révélé que contrairement à la taille du réseau, sa nature et la position en son sein semblent être les caractéristiques structurelles qui constituent une importante source de performance pour les firmes membres.

Abstract
The inter-organizational relationships are experiencing a transition in their forms, from simple relationships of dyadic alliances to more increasingly complex network relationships. This article aims at understanding performance of firms which are embedded in networks structures through exploring structural characteristics that would likely explain the effect of such network configurations on this performance. By focusing on a 1132 observation sample set out of 1112 alliances, our longitudinal study (2000-2015) concerns 47 networks established by 87 firms belonging to different sectors. The analysis revealed that, unlike network size, network diversity and network position seem to be the structural characteristics that constitute an important source of firms’ performance.
Keywords:
- Networks approaches,

Resumen
Las relaciones inter organizativas están experimentando una transición en lo que respecta a sus formas, pasando de simples alianzas diádicas a relaciones reticulares cada vez más complejas. Este artículo tiene como objetivo comprender el desempeño de las empresas incluidas en estructuras de redes mediante la exploración de características estructurales que puedan explicar el efecto de esas configuraciones en el desempeño de las empresas. Con una muestra de 1132 observaciones de 1112 alianzas, nuestro estudio longitudinal (2000-2015) trata 47 redes formadas por 87 empresas de diferentes sectores. El análisis revela que, a diferencia del tamaño de la red, parecen ser la naturaleza y la posición dentro de ella las características estructurales que son una fuente importante de desempeño para las empresas miembros.
