以結構平衡分析法探討動態聯盟關係形成與華嚴宗之法界緣起觀

楊坤修

本研究採用結構平衡理論(一個三角結構之觀點)探討動態聯盟關係之形成與維持，並且將研究結果與華嚴宗之法界源起觀做初步之探討。
透過不同正向與負向關係組合所形成之三角結構，會造成組織間關不同類型與強度之和諧感與緊張感，而此將影響組織間動態聯盟關係之形成與維持。本研究發現:當廠商現下無任何關係時，為了達成潛在平衡關係所形成未來新關係之機率，將高於結構不平衡時之狀態；除此之外，當三角結構處於最高穩定狀態時，其關係維持之機率最高，勝於其他三角結構類型；最後，本研究討論結構平衡分析理論與方法可以如何應用在華嚴宗法界源起觀之論述。
本研究之結果有助於策略聯盟與社會網絡分析法在理論與研究方法上之發展，並且是首先採用法界源起觀之概念應用於企業研究。

Dynamic Alliance Formation and a discussion with the idea of dharma-dhatu- pratitya –samutpada

Kuen-Shiou Yang

This study adopts the theory of structural balance (a triangular structure) to explore the formation and maintenance of dynamic alliance relations, and to discuss the research results with the perspective of Hua Yanzong’s dharma-dhatu-pratitya-samutpada(華嚴宗之法界緣起觀點).
The different triadic structures formed by positive and negative relationships will form different harmonies and tensions for inter-firm relationships, influencing the formation of strategic alliance relationships. This study found that the possibility of firms to form a new alliance with others to achieve a potential structural balance is higher than a structural imbalance when there is no relationship between them. Next, the highest structural stability exhibits the highest possibility of alliance formation than other structures. Finally, we discussed how structural balance can be applied in the discussion of “dharma-dhatu- pratitya -samutpada” in Hua-Yen Buddhism.
The results could contribute to strategic alliance and social network analysis research in both theory and methodology and a pioneer discussion of the idea of “dharma-dhatu- pratitya -samutpada” in business research.
