This research explored the question of how a firm's governance of its alliance network facilitates knowledge-sharing about effective collaboration between the hub or broker firm and network members. The study examined the operation of Aurora Energy's preferred suppliers alliance network between 1992 and 2005. The Aurora preferred suppliers network operates in Tasmania, an island state located off the south coast of Australia and is a hub-and-spoke network of dyadic alliances between Aurora Energy, an energy company, and 14 retailers of electrical heating appliances. The study found that Aurora's governance of network conditions facilitated knowledge-sharing which generated three distinct forms of value: beneficial alliance outcomes; new knowledge about utilising alliance relationships; and new functional skills.","PeriodicalId":334553,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131778970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we provide a theoretical framework to describe the role of the contractual complexity of alliance agreements for the governance and organisational form of alliances. We suggest control theory to explain how the goal incongruence and performance ambiguity among collaborating partners, in conjunction with the complexity of their contractual agreements, affect the organisational form of alliances that can be characterised as bureaucracy, market, clan, or adhocracy. Our framework implies that managers who review and control contractual complexity, goal incongruence, and performance ambiguity, will be able to identify and employ governance for their alliances that better supports their firm's strategic intentions.","PeriodicalId":334553,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125955661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study found that, even in such alliances, detailed and well known contracts, industry norms for appropriate behaviour and positive initial encounters can facilitate the development of trust. This trust can take two forms. One is the traditional personal trust resulting in learning and high performance. This trust replaces other forms of governance and therefore entails risks of opportunism. The other form of trust is inter-organisational, founded on the contract and industrial norms and initiated from favourable initial encounters. This form of trust allows smoother and faster processes throughout the cooperation exposing the firms to relatively low risks. We call it contractual trust. As the contract proceeds towards termination, the benefits of opportunism may be too tempting, resulting in mistrust.","PeriodicalId":334553,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122900809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines how close collaborative relationships between firms and universities have succeeded by constructing network career models between the two sets of organisations. It focuses on a growing category of research scientists referred to as 'linked scientists'. These people engage in the practices of both science and business, and develop knowledge networks and career patterns that straddle the two sectors. The analysis highlights the emergence of a hybrid organisational space structured around the linked mobility of people. The notion of an 'overlapping internal labour market' gives insight into our understanding of the interdependent relationship between flexible projects and more enduring career arrangements that support knowledge governance across organisational boundaries.","PeriodicalId":334553,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances","volume":"91 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130927440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a case study of two corporate investment relationships that are embedded in the same technological setting, we observe that combinations of high (low) initial trust and low (high) initial formal control are likely to trigger micro-level interactions such as unstructured (structured) technological knowledge exchange, negative (positive) managerial gatekeeping and limited (extensive) joint sensemaking. These micro-level interactions subsequently lead to low (high) levels of knowledge transfer success and negative (positive) trust and control dynamics at the macro-level. In this way, our study contributes to the emergence of a multi-level perspective on knowledge governance in which macro-level variables and micro-level interactions are linked to each other.","PeriodicalId":334553,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116228107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Economic development policy is increasingly focused on SMEs, creating a clear research issue in terms of the roles and interactions of support bodies and the creation and dissemination of innovation. This paper thus analyses the contribution of a range of external supporting institutions in an innovation creation and dissemination framework – exploring the contribution of networks, and identifying the mechanisms required therein. Bivariate and multivariate (regression) analyses are employed to investigate outcomes in relation to these structures; data is derived from survey responses of over 450 UK SMEs. Results on the conscious use of relational embeddedness show this to be an important indicator of SME performance, but not universally so. In general, we find less support for the factors predicting SME growth outcomes than is the case for innovation. Finally, we outline an agenda for further research in the area.","PeriodicalId":334553,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances","volume":"362 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122825648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With a sample of 1,094 overseas R&D collaborations in 42 countries by US companies, we examine the impact of three firm-level ownership endowments – technological competency, organisational slack, as well as location factors on such decisions. Our results show that industry relatedness between US companies and their overseas partners demonstrates significant moderator effects. Also, when expanding into culturally distant nations, US multinationals are much more likely to form R&D joint ventures or non-equity alliances than corporate venture capital investments.","PeriodicalId":334553,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances","volume":"199 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115485688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hatch and Schultz's (2002) model of organisational identity was used as an analytical framework to understand the alliance identity process, and Giddens' (1979) structuration theory was used to further interpret the data. First- and second-order levers were identified that contributed to the emergence of a distinct identity. These levers act as coordinating and integrating mechanisms, and in some cases, inhibitors of identity formation within the alliance organisation. A model of organisational identity processes that builds upon Hatch and Schultz's (2002) model of organisational identity is introduced, and implications for the success of strategic alliances are discussed.","PeriodicalId":334553,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123999094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
