Cooperating with technologically (dis)similar alliance partners: the influence of the technology life cycle and the impact on innovative and market performance Universiteit Hasselt

To do so, we use a sample of 83 Application Specific Integrated Circuit firms over the period 1986-2005. We find that working with partners that are technologically similar improves innovative and ...

Singularly relating behavioral value drivers to financial performance of alliances ignores intangible performance components. This research shows that behavioral value drivers directly affect alliance performance and, additionally, indirectly affect intangible performance. The direct ...

Towards a dynamic concept of alliance capability Universiteit Antwerpen

Second, we extend existing literature on alliance capability by breaking this concept down into five sub capabilities, which are each linked to a stage of the alliance life cycle. Finally, we suggest how firms can support these capabilities through structural, technological and ...
