The exploration of an interlocking network of enterprises revolving around one specific activity allows the researcher to look at the problem from lots of different angles" (Shekerjian, 1990, p. 9-10). ]]> 2020-02-05 20:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/meb4bd/9fn3duymeikk/wish/441215891 Juan's Projects/Work meb4bd https://padlet.com/meb4bd/9fn3duymeikk/wish/441217298
