Abstract
ABSTRACT This article investigates how a firm’s foreign equity share affects its likelihood of strategic alliances with local firms, discussing the benefits and costs of such strategic alliances. Analysing a panel dataset of Korean firms, we find the inverted U-shaped relationship between foreign equity share and the likelihood of alliance involvement. We also find that the relationship depends on the types of alliance partner and industry. This relationship is relatively steeper when the foreign-owned firm collaborates with a local firm in a different industry. The negative effect of foreign equity share on the likelihood of strategic alliances dominates in high-technology industries.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
