| Summary |
"The objective of this chapter (and this book) is to highlight areas where further research on corporate alliances is needed. Scholarly interest in alliances (agreements between two or more independent organizations working together under an 'incomplete contract' in order to achieve some mutual benefit) have burgeoned in the last few decades. These partnerships have been studied in many different disciplines in the social sciences, in addition to many functional specialties within business schools, including marketing and to some extent in corporate finance. Within management, interest in alliances, and the contributions to understanding their rise and implications for firms, was first initiated in a significant way in international business studies. Early interest in this research stemmed from the cross-border character of the many collaborative agreements between multinational firms seeking market opportunities in emerging countries, many of which then had governmental policies suggesting or mandating a local partner. Today, of course, with the abandonment of socialist policies and the 'sea change' in attitudes towards business in emerging nations, few such restrictions remain (Contractor, 2013). Alliances are today, for the most part, voluntary collaborations between two or more companies in advanced economies, driven by intrinsic strategy motivations. The few government mandates that remain in emerging countries are slowly disappearing. In the field of strategic management, interest in alliances remains substantial, continues at a rapid clip, and is far from a mature field of research. Many fundamentally important research questions remain unanswered, however, and it is the objective of this volume to indicate where further investigation may be fruitfully undertaken"-- Provided by publisher |
