Abstract: Although the psychological and inter-personal dynamics of boundary spanners leading to ebb and flow of network exchanges as well as its deleterious effects on firm profitability has been established,little is known about how organizations could moderate this ebb and flow. We develop a network memory and international cultural distances based approach to solving this conundrum. We argue that organizations’ prior network properties of trust and status moderate ebb and flow of resources. This moderation fades when source and target organization's or target manager’s cultural distances are large. We find robust empirical support for our hypotheses and discuss implications for theory and practice.
