5 key issues for the study of alliances:
1. The formation of alliances
2. The choice of governance structure
3. The dynamic evolution of alliances
4. The performance of alliances
5. The performance consequences for firms
Strategic alliances= Voluntary arrangements between firms involving exchange,
sharing or co-development of products, technologies or services
The social networks of prior ties not only affect the creation of new ties but also affected
their design, their evolutionary path and their ultimate success.
Embeddedness perspective= Highlights the significance of the social relationships in
which actors are situated for their future behavior and performance
By channeling information, social networks enable firms to discover new alliance
opportunities and can thus influence how often and with whom those firms enter into
alliances. Once two firms decide to enter an alliance, their relative proximity in the
network may influence the specific governance structure used to formalize the alliance.
The extent to which two partners are socially embedded can also influence their
subsequent behavior and affect the likely future success of the alliance. A firm’s portfolio
of alliances and its network position in an industry can have a profound influence on its
overall performance.
By examining the specific way in which social networks may constrain firms’ future
actions and channel opportunities, firms themselves can begin to take a more forward-
looking stance in the new ties they enter. They can be proactive in designing their
networks and con sidering the ramifications on their future choices of each new tie they
form. They may also selectively position themselves in networks to derive possible
control benefits as well.
