EDITION KWV THE DESIGN OF ALLIANCE GOVERNANCE...

Strategic alliances have emerged as an important element of firms' strategies. Following suit 
research on alliances has blossomed  concentrating on the various forms alliances take  the
reasons of their existence  and increasingly embracing questions of alliance management and
governance tasks. However  most contributions which address the alliance governance problem are
yet rather vague and selective in their conception of alliance governance structures as well as
the factors which influence their suitability. The aim of this book is to further advance our
understanding of alliance governance and to provide recommendations on the problem of alliance
governance design. Following the configurational approach  Sascha Albers develops a
comprehensive model of alliance governance systems. He identifies relevant structural and
instrumental design parameters and analyzes major contingency factors  including member firms'
cultures and alliance experience  number of alliance partners  and trust  which impact the
design parameters' suitability. He finally deducts five configurations  or ideal types  of
alliance governance systems which can be regarded as blueprints for the practitioner and as
platform for further research for the alliance scholar. Potential readership includes scholars
of strategic management and organization theory  interested students in these areas as well as
practitioners involved in formulating and implementing alliance strategies.
