Abstract: Over the past several decades, companies have become increasingly engaged in interfirm relationships. In this dissertation, we investigate the role of imitation in explaining management control in interfirm relationships. More specifically, we examine the occurrence of management control system imitation in supply chains, as well as the consequences of such imitation for performance. In addition, we examine the impact of imitation on trust formation and partner selection when entering into new collaborative relationships. The findings of this dissertation have important implications for both research and practice.
