摘要：This paper integrated the resource-based view and the network perspective to clarify different sources of advantages for a hospital and to answer where do the advantages come from. This research unpacked two different sources of resource advantages, hospital-source and network- source advantages. The author not only examined the effects of hospital-source advantage and network-source advantage on hospital performance but also explore whether the network members with centrality acquire more network-source advantages. The empirical results demonstrated that the hospital-source advantages and centrality independently affect performance but the network-source advantages do not affect performance. Moreover, centrality plays the supplementary explanation over the relationship between hospital-source advantages and performance and the relationship between network-source advantages and performance. In addition, hospital-source advantages facilitate hospitals to increase its centrality, suggesting that hospitals should occupy the central positions to benefit from the network and to increase the performance.
