Abstract
Business-to-Business (B2B) online communities (OCs) facilitate enterprises to obtain additional resources through establishing interconnected networks. However, the existing literature lacks comprehensive insights into how the social network of enterprises affects their involuntary default. Based on social network theory, this study aims to investigate the influence of structural network embeddedness (i.e., density, structural holes, and centrality) on enterprises’ involuntary default. The results show that these network characteristics have a direct impact on involuntary default, and these effects are moderated by role superposition.
