Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La mondialisation de l'économie et l'internationalisation des marchés ont entrainé le développement sans précédent des alliances stratégiques. De nombreux travaux de recherches se sont attachés à décrire et tenter d'expliquer ce phénomène notamment en s'intéressant à leurs modes de gouvernance. Dans la plupart des travaux, deux modes de gouvernance sont identifiés et théorisés : la gouvernance contractuelle et la gouvernance relationnelle. Dans le prolongement de ces travaux, l'étude de la relation entre mode de gouvernance et performance occupe une place de choix en sciences de gestion. Partant de ce corpus, cette recherche vise à répondre à la question suivante : "Dans quelle mesure la structure de la gouvernance peut-elle améliorer la performance d'alliance?". En mobilisant la théorie des coûts de transactions (Williamson, 1985) et la théorie de l'échange social (Blau, 1964 ; Homans, 1961), cette recherche développe un modèle intégrateur à travers neuf hypothèses de recherche, permettant de comprendre le lien entre la gouvernance contractuelle, la gouvernance relationnelle et la performance d'alliance stratégique. Avec la collaboration de l'association France Biotech, ce modèle a été testé auprès d'un échantillon représentatif des firmes biotechnologiques françaises. La validation des hypothèses de recherche a été faite en ayant recours à la méthode PLS. Trois principaux résultats importants ont émergé : le choix de la gouvernance contractuelle est fortement recommandé en cas de forte spécificité des actifs investis dans l'alliance, une forte dépendance vis à vis du partenaire défavorise le recours à la gouvernance relationnelle ; et l'effet positif de la gouvernance relationnelle sur la performance d'alliance est plus fort que celui de la gouvernance contractuelle.

Download or read book The Design of Alliance Governance Systems written by Sascha Albers and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Strategic Alliances written by Steve Steinhilber and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a top executive, you've almost certainly forged strategic alliances with other companies. Some of these deals have worked--but many others have likely failed. In fact, companies worldwide launch more than two thousand strategic alliances every year, and more than half never deliver as promised. In Strategic Alliances, Steve Steinhilber proves that, despite the odds, alliances are critical to the business strategy for companies competing globally: customers want integrated solutions to their problems, and that's pushing companies to work together to create differentiated offerings. Equally crucial, well-managed alliances generate important forms of business value, including new products and accelerated growth. Drawing on his experience as the head of Cisco's Strategic Alliances group, Steinhilber has created tools and guidelines that will help you forge alliances that work. He describes the three essential building blocks of successful alliances and explains how to establish: The right framework--by articulating how an alliance will help you achieve your company's strategic business goals and identifying potential partners The right organization--by staffing your alliance organization with the right people and constantly honing their skills The right relationships--by cultivating trust among the many key internal contacts in your organization and your alliance partners Engaging and authoritative, Strategic Alliances shows you how to manage strategic partnerships more effectively and maximize their value in a complex and changing business environment. From our new Memo to the CEO series--solutions-focused advice from today's leading practitioners.

Download or read book Management of Alliance Networks written by Włodzimierz Sroka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-01-06 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective management is crucial to the success of the inter-firm cooperation, and may reduce the risk that is inherently associated with these strategies. If cooperative strategy is to be successful, managers must have knowledge of factors that should be taken into consideration during formation and management of alliance networks. Therefore the main goal of this book is an understandable and simple presentation of the complexity involved in the management of alliance networks at three basic stages: formation stage, functioning stage, and post-operational stage. The book consists of six chapters, both theoretical and practical. A new model for management of alliance networks, which utilizes different instruments and tools, has been developed in the work. The last part of the book concentrates on the management of alliance networks in a practice-based framework based on the example of an engineering company which has formed a portfolio of bilateral alliances.
Download or read book Alliance Advantage written by Yves L. Doz and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a decade of reeningeering and downsizing, many companies are leaner, more efficient, and acutely focused on their core business. Yet today's growth opportunities in global markets and new technologies demand a wider range of skills. More and more, firms must turn to alliances-often with their rivals-to meld the right resources for pursuing new opportunities. However, few managers are accustomed to working with undefined boundaries between collaboration and competition, with the need to combine unfamiliar skills, with networks of interdependent alliances, and with complex value creation strategies. Nor has their experience with traditional joint ventures prepared them for this world of intricate alliance webs. Alliance Advantage aims to help today's managers and their companies be more successful in their efforts to create, guide, and thrive with alliance strategies. Most conventional wisdom about alliances has focused on the formal design of bilateral alliances, devoting too little attention to the strategic underpinnings and too little commitment to building relationships. With Alliance Advantage, strategy experts Yves Doz and Gary Hamel convincingly argue that it is the strength of alliance strategies and the frequently overlooked internal processes that play the decisive role in shaping eventual outcomes. In a fundamentally new perspective on the way alliances are formed and managed, the authors reveal the analysis, processes, and partner interactions that enable allies to meet their strategic goals. Drawing on principles of strategy, organizational design, organizational learning, and collaborative management, this is the definitive resource for both understanding and leveraging the powerful advantages of alliances. Alliance Advantage provides both conceptual and practical tools for analyzing the design and performance of alliances. Here, for the first time, is a comprehensive guide that will help managers build new collaborations and improve existing ones. Each chapter examines a different aspect of an alliance, from selecting the right partners to minimizing conflicts to determining further commitments. Companies such as Xerox, Boeing, Honda, and Corning, among others, provide examples of successful and unsuccessful partnerships, painting a vivid picture of the conditions that can make or break an alliance. Successful alliances, say Doz and Hamel, require constant attention. With Alliance Advantage, they offer today's best opportunity to study, understand, and increase the effectiveness of strategic alliances.
