The determinants of alliance performance: an integrative framework

Chen, Yen-Hao 28 July 2008 (has links)
Though the traditional resource-based view emphasized on the function of alliance to obtain the valuable resources, it still can¡¦t explain the complex alliance integrations completely. Using transaction cost theory to decrease opportunism can not help to build integration mechanisms of alliance. This study employs knowledge-based view to study how to use knowledge integration mechanisms to establish the internal valuable, rare and imperfectly imitable resources for alliance.These internal advantages can help the organization to acquire partner¡¦s critical resources. Based on knowledge based theory, this study, integrating alliance learning perspective and social integration perspective, built an integrative framework in addition to a sample set of 158 cases to explain how to enable alliance to reach its success. Additionally, by means of structural equation model (SEM), we test this integrated model. From the alliance learning perspective, this study not only considers the IT system, but also argues the importance of alliance learning mechanism and learning empowerment integration. First, the relational capability provides the foundations of the learning capability in alliance. Through the relational capability, the company can directly carry out the operational integration and promote the learning mechanism and empowerment, all which form the social integration mechanism s that facilitate to increase the alliance performance. From the social integration perspective, TMT¡¦s joint commitment is a collective action to bring forth active connection, such as relational capability, social integration mechanism and normative integration. Relational capability that is positively influenced by TMT¡¦s commitment is the valuable resources within alliance networks. Relational capability benefits the social integration mechanism and promotes the normative integration, that both of them will enhance good alliance performance.
