$"...$Benson $(1975)$ defined interorganizational networks as a political economy. By this he meant that interorganizational communication and exchange networks were the mechanisms by which organizations acquired and dispended scarce resources, thus creating and perpetuating a system of power relations." $($Chapter $7$ Page $213)$

This is reiterating the fact that exchange theory has a bigger impact than you would think. Organizations are dependent on their position in the networks to have an advantage. When it comes to scarce resources, the position held is very important. More central industries are more likely to have higher wages and better resources.

Do you think its fair that some organizations get better things like wages and resources, just because of their reputation or position in the network?
