Testo completoIn the last two decades, strategic alliances became important sources of growth and competitive advantage thanks to several benefits that they provide such as accessing new and critical resources and capabilities, improving competitive position, effective and rapid entering in new the markets. Strategic alliance has been seen as a response to market globalization and increasing uncertainty and complexity of the economic environment. Globalization has deeply changes the role of strategic alliances; it has led collaborative network logic between global firms. No firms can compete in the marketplace, as in the past, only with own its resources, knowledge and skills; global economy requires structured, widespread and highly interconnected organizations called network. Indeed, in situations of highly-intensive competition, the setting up of lines of cooperation represents typical strategic behavior by firms with a long-term view and global market vision. In the first chapter of my research, I highlight the main purpose of strategic alliances that is to combine the strengths of two or more firms for achieving mutual goals. Only few firms have all the resources need to compete effectively in the current complex economic environment, so they seek to fill this gap through strategic alliances formation. Then, in this chapter I also highlight the “alliances’ paradox nature” represented by the fact that despite their strategic importance they still present a very low success rate .Although the growth rate has increased at 25% globally, in the recent years, strategic alliances tend to exhibit a high failure rates. Therefore, although in global markets, the number of strategic alliances continues to grow, they still have a very low success rate. This represents a paradox for firms; the main purpose of my research is identifying the way through which firms can address this paradox, investigating the main factors that lead strategic alliances toward success. In second chapter, in order to show alliances’ benefits and potential causes of failure, I provide three examples of global alliances. The first example, useful to explain the concept of alliance success and to show potential alliances’ benefits, is represented by the alliance between “Toyota and PSA”; the others two, represented by the alliances between “Renault and Volvo” and “Daimler Benz and Chrysler”, are useful to identify potential causes of alliance failure In the third chapter, in order to identify the key factors that influence formation and success of a strategic alliance, I choose the essential arguments of -Transaction cost theory – Knowledge based view- Social exchange theory - Resource based view- Dynamic capability view and Alliance management capabilities. I also provide an example of successful strategic alliance, the agreement between “Ford and Mazda” that is considered a case of historic successful cross-culturally alliance. In the fifth chapter, I highlight the question concerning the heterogeneous alliance performance between global firms; some firms obtain success from their partnerships and others fail. Previous studies found that firms with greater alliance performances, are those firms with superior capabilities termed in literature as “alliance management capabilities”.

Testo completoThe purpose of this study is to investigate and describe the internationalization process of SMEs which choose strategic alliances as entry mode. Understanding the internationalization of small firms is important to enhance knowledge of how they develop their business activities in international markets. Moreover, a strategic alliance perspective gives a critical insight of firms’ strategy to challenge in global competition.
The qualitative approach is chosen to carry out the research question and achieve the purpose of this study. A case study is therefore used to generate advanced knowledge and understanding. Anoto group AB, a small Swedish company is picked as a sample due to the criteria fitting. I collected both secondary and primary data through various sources.
The findings reveal that internal factors and external factors strongly influence the small company’s strategy. The advantage and core values of using strategic alliances motivate the small firm to go abroad. Due to the limited resources and knowledge, the small firm could not go globally alone. Using a strategic alliance can enable the firm to gain resources, gain market power and leverage competencies. Therefore, the small company can accomplish the goal in short time and be successful in international markets through managing alliances.

Testo completoThis thesis provides a coherent theoretical account of the role of trust in strategic alliances from varied disciplinary perspectives and by establishing some common ground among these perspectives. Approaching the integration of the literature about trust and strategic alliances from the resource based view, the transaction cost view, the dialectical perspective, and the social network perspective is aimed at creating a new systematic explanatory scheme. The unique combination of these four perspectives provides overlapping explanations for strategic alliance behaviour and serves as a methodical device for analysing the dynamics of trust relationships. This theoretical-methodical foundation will serve as tool for sorting out and highlighting different research streams regarding the two key topics. An integrative framework of the notion of trust in strategic alliances is built around the key issue “culture of trust”. The culture of trust is addressed, because one of the main findings will be that collaborative relationships require some minimum social base with trust as its constitutive element. Arguments will be provided that inter-organizational ventures characterized by high interdependence, require the trust mechanism to make leadership effective. The tension between trust and control in strategic alliances is discussed and attention is drawn to the possibilities and key abilities of leaders in establishing trust as a constitutive element in strategic alliances.

Testo completoAfter the deregulation of the airline industry new actors entered the market and among them were the low-cost airlines. These actors are not involved in the same traditional airline alliance used by the traditional airlines to strengthen their position on the market.
Little research has been made regarding the benefits for low-cost airlines to engage in strategic alliances. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate if low-cost airlines benefit from engaging in strategic alliances or collaborations, and identify possible alliance configurations.
To fulfill the purpose we have used a qualitative method and case studies. Interviews with respondents from two low-cost airlines as well as an airline industry field expert were used to gather information about the thesis subject.
We have concluded that the low-cost airlines in this study benefit from engaging in strategic alliances. The low-cost airlines are using vertical as well as horizontal alliances principally to gain cost-reduction or efficiency benefits. Both cases were against traditional airline alliances due to the high costs involved, and the fact that they do not share the same motives for alliances.

Testo completoThis research was motivated by the perception that although the oil and gas is mature and capital intensive industry, there is a rapid growth of alliances aiming technological cooperation. The expansion of the limits of performance and the aggregation of industry safety and profitability of operations the main drivers of the establishment of these alliances. In this sense, the study aims to contribute to studies on the management of companies and alliances focusing on the global strategic implications. To have this as a case study of one of the largest companies - Petrobras, focusing exclusive on alliances for technological cooperation. Given the relevance of research and development for the sector s evolution and the absence of a study that establishes the strategic implications of such alliances, the research aims to fill this gap. In addition, this study has adapted the framework for strategic analysis of relational Macedo-Soares (2011) for technological cooperation alliances Petrobras. The results show the relevance of this set of strategic alliances, to raising opportunities and mitigate threats at the level of oil and gas industry.

Testo completoBackground
Strategic alliances have become increasingly popular within the business world, they can be seen as a way to improve the total output of the firm. Over the last 10 years, the industry endured trying times, the most notable being the events of September 11, 2001. That event drastically changed airline traveling all across the world. It also showed the importance of collaborations in order to stay competitive. Star Alliance began in 1997 and has since then grown into
the world’s largest airline alliance with a total market share of 25.1%.
Purpose
The raison d’être of this study is to quantify and analyze the augmentation of load factors over time, in terms of distribution, as they pertain to capacity performance of allied carriers within Star Alliance.
Method
In order to fulfill the purpose, a deductive approach to the research has been taken. Furthermore, due to the nature of the data, a quantitative approach has been used within. Two hypotheses will be stated and several research questions as well.
Result
It can be clearly seen that distribution of load factors has transformed during the years. There is a shift in both the skewness and the kurtosis of the distributions that can be seen when examining the frequency distribution charts. The kurtosis increases and the skew decreases, measures that are positive for the airlines, while the anomalies of 0% and 100% load factor have remained stable throughout the years. A general increase in the average load factors has also been seen.
Conclusion
By analyzing the empirical findings, it is clear that the load factor of the allied members has increased and that the proportion of the denied boardings decreased in relation to the average load factor. This means that the alternative hypothesis was accepted in the first hypothesis and that the second alternative hypothesis was accepted in the second hypothesis. The research also reveals a generally increased mean which together with the changes in the skew and kurtosis lead to an acceptance of the beta distribution. Furthermore, higher load factors were shown to have a strong correlation with the increase in efficiency and decrease in overselling.

This study, the implementation of strategic alliances by Thai firms which focused on the behaviour of partners, the governance structure and the satisfaction outcome of firms in industrial districts in Thailand was operationalized integrating the Transaction Cost Theory (TCT), the Property Rights Theory (PRT), and the Transactional Value Theory (TVT). The propositions were then assessed on the basis of a survey of 503 firms in industrial districts in Thailand. Logistic regression analysis results generally supported the model and hypotheses, suggesting the need for a greater focuses on the TCT, the PRT, and the TVT to study the relationship of partners' behaviour, governance structure, and satisfaction of allied firms. We further found that collaborative alliances (Joint Ownerships) were more likely to be effective as the governance form when collaborations were highly complex in terms of uncertainty, whereas Separated Ownerships were preferred when the level of trust was high between partners. The findings also showed that Separated Ownerships were more likely to be selected when the highest probability for opportunistic behaviour was compensated by the expected future benefits. Moreover, ANOVA analysis result strongly supported that satisfaction of the firm with the alliance should be independent of the implemented structure, if this has been selected taking into account aspects from the TCT, the PRT, and the TVT.

Testo completoEsta pesquisa procurou responder ao seguinte problema: Que fatores os executivos devem levar em conta nas suas decisões relativas à avaliação das implicações estratégicas pertinentes à virtualização das alianças e redes de relacionamento estabelecidas entre as empresas e seus parceiros de negócio? Como o fenômeno estava em formação no ambiente empresarial a pesquisa foi necessariamente exploratória. A metodologia aplicada foi pós-positivista, utilizando-se simultaneamente dos métodos hipotético- dedutivo e indutivo. A partir do referencial teórico estudado, desenvolveu-se um arcabouço de trabalho contendo os aspectos relativos à virtualização dos relacionamentos com parceiros de negócio, a saber, os direcionadores e atributos da virtualidade, e a tipologia de redes estratégicas virtuais - REVs. Este arcabouço foi aplicado previamente em dois estudos de caso pilotos nas empresas Neoris e GM-Fiat WWP e, após os ajustes nos instrumentos de coleta, em três outros estudos de caso: Construtora Norberto Odebrecht, Telemar e AmBev. Nas etapas subseqüentes da pesquisa, múltiplos métodos foram adotados para a captura de dados: investigação documental e telematizada, levantamento das percepções (survey) com os diretores das diferentes empresas. Os resultados obtidos por meio dos estudos de caso evidenciaram que, de fato, o arcabouço teórico proposto na pesquisa tinha o potencial de contribuir ao fornecimento de subsídios para a tomada de decisão estratégica de empresas que integram redes de relacionamentos, ao ajudá-las, não só a identificar, mas principalmente a influenciar as condições que permitam estabelecer uma participação mais efetiva nos diferentes tipos de REVs possíveis.
The research portrayed in this Doctoral Dissertation was designed to search an answer for the following problem: What factors and dimensions should the executives take into consideration on their decisions regarding the strategic implications related to the virtualization of strategic alliances and networks? Since the study`s object of analysis was a new phenomenon in the business environment that does not yet have an accepted theoretical tradition in the academic world, the research was, necessarily, an exploratory one. The methodology applied was post-positivist, using simultaneously the hypotheticdeductive and inductive methods. Based on the literature investigated, a working framework was developed containing the aspects regarding the virtualization of the relationships with business partners: the virtualization drivers and attributes, and a typology of virtual strategic networks (VSNs). This framework was previously tested in two pilot cases studies: Neoris and GM- Fiat WWP. After the necessary adjustments on the data collections instruments, the framework was applied on the other three research case studies: Construtora Norberto Odebrecht, Telemar e AmBev. On the subsequent research steps, multiple methods were adopted for the data collection. The results obtained by way of the case studies showed that, indeed, the working framework had the potential to contribute with subsidies for the strategic decisions involved, not only in the identification, but mainly in the creation of conditions that influence a more effective participation of firms on the different types of VSNs.

Testo completoThe tighter competition among the companies inside the autoparts industry brings challenges to the ones that intend to remain and grow in this market. One alternative that appears as an option to generate a competitive advantage is the stablishment of strategic alliances among companies inside this market. The current research has the goal to contribute to the studies in startegic management of firms inserted in alliances, focusing in the question of its strategic implications over its performance. Has as focus the company Forjas Brasileiras, a brazilian company that in 1999 decided to stablish two strategic alliances with foreign companies. With the use of case study methodology of Yin (1994) and the triangulatioin of methods strategy, data was collected by way of documental/telematicinvestigations as well as survey and in-depth interviews. Data interpretaion ans analysis was carried out in the light of the theoretical references that were stablished on the basis of the results of the literature review, with the support of Macedo-Soares´ systemic and integrative model in its traditional and relational models. The results of the research showed the importance to use relational model in the case of companies that have stablished alliances, so these view might bring new insights to the strategic decision in the firm, wich could not be achieved by means of traditional analysis.

Testo completoEconomic globalization and internationalization of markets have led to an unprecedented development of strategic alliances. Many research projects have tried to describe and explain this phenomenon, some via exploration of modes of governance. Contractual and relational governance are the two modes of governance identified and theorized upon in the majority of these works. Extending this research avenue further in the area of Management Sciences, a prominent place is held by the relationship between mode of governance and performance. Based on this corpus, this research aims to answer the following question: “To what extent can the governance structure improve the performance of an alliance?” Mobilizing transaction cost theory (Williamson, 1985) and social exchange theory (Blau, 1964 ; Homans, 1961) this research develops an integrative model through nine research hypotheses in an effort to understand the link between contractual governance, relational governance and performance of strategic alliances. Thanks to collaboration with the French Biotech association, the model has been tested using a representative sample of French Biotech firms. The research hypotheses were validate using the PLS method. Three main important results emerge : contractual governance is a strongly recommended choice if there is a high level of asset specificity invested in the alliance ; in the case of strong dependence on a partner, relational governance is not the ideal choice ; and relational governance has a stronger positive effect on alliance performance than does contractual governance

Testo completoEn la segunda parte de la tesis (capítulos 3 a 6) se estudia la manera en que las empresas organizan sus acuerdos de cooperación. En el capítulo 3 se proporciona una introducción al tema. En los capítulos 4 y 5 se presentan dos modelos teóricos. En el primero se utiliza un marco de contratos incompletos y se analiza el rol que el aprendizaje del know-how del partner juega en el desarrollo de dos modos de organización de alianzas estratégicas, esto es, Joint Ventures y acuerdos de contratos. Se demuestra que cuanto mayor es la asimetría en la capacidad de aprendizaje de las empresas, mejor es la Joint Venture. El modelo presentado en el capítulo 5 combina las herramientas y métodos de dos áreas de la literatura económica: inversión bajo incertidumbre y teoría de la búsqueda. El objetivo principal del modelo consiste en relacionar la forma de gobierno elegida por las empresas involucradas en la alianza con las características del sector en el que la alianza tiene lugar. Se demuestra que cuanto mayor es la incertidumbre a la que se enfrentan las empresas, mayor es la probabilidad de que elijan formas de gobierno más flexibles, como los acuerdos de contratos. El último capítulo se dedica a la investigación empírica del tema. Se contrastan algunas de las predicciones que pueden ser derivadas de los modelos presentados en los capítulos 4 y 5, así como aquellas que han sido destacadas en otros trabajos teóricos.
The thesis is composed of two distinct parts. In the first one (chapter 2), I present an extension of an entry model "à la Dixit". I consider a setting in which the entry decisions of the first mover might reveal information about the markets' profitability to a second entrant. In this context, I characterize the first mover's strategic behavior. I show that when priors about markets profitability are at an intermediate level, then the first mover enters them sequentially trying to delay the competitor's entry. On the contrary, when priors are lower, the first mover tends to enter all the markets at the same time trying to preempt the other firm.
In the second part of the thesis (chapters 3,4,5,6), I consider the issue of the governance form of strategic alliances. That is, I study the way in which firms organize their cooperative arrangements. In chapter 3, there is a brief introduction to the topic. In chapters 4 and 5, I present two theoretical models. In the first one, I employ an incomplete contracts setting and I analyze the role of learning the partner's know-how on the performances of two typical modes of organizing strategic alliances, namely Joint Ventures and Contractual Agreements. I show that the more asymmetric firms' absorptive capacities are, the better a Joint Venture performs. The model of chapter 5 combines the tools and methods of two strands of economic literature: investment under uncertainty and search theory. The main objective of the model is that of relating the form of governance that partners choose for their alliance to the typology of the project undertaken and to the characteristics of the sector in which the alliance takes place. It is proved that the larger the uncertainty that partners face, the more likely that they choose more flexible forms of cooperation such as Contractual Agreements. The last chapter is devoted to an empirical assessment of the topic. I test some of the predictions that can be derived from the models of chapters 4 and 5 as well as those that have been put forward by other theoretical studies dealing with the same issue.

Testo completoDeterminants of strategic alliances success remain the focus of researchers’ interest as much today as they did thirty yeas ago. Despite extensive research, current understanding of a number of questions remains unclear. One problem is the lack of attention to how governance – i.e. coordination, control/monitoring, motivation/ incentives – occurs through formal and informal activities unfolding between partners as the alliance moves forward. To deepen the understanding of this question it is necessary to develop such a conceptual framework for collaborative process, elements of which could be analyzed with respect to their capacity to facilitate governance. This topic was developed in the third chapter. To develop such a framework we relied on the description of formal and informal alliance processes from the relational perspective, and on the conceptualization of the developmental stages of practice from the community of practice perspective. We described the domains of activities (stages) in which partners engage while performing their tasks. Furthermore, we assigned the process characteristics frequently employed in the alliance research to one of these domains and developed hypotheses about the relationships between these characteristics. Lastly, we discuss the governance functions of distinct activity domains. Another problem that has not yet been completely understood is the role of alliance social structure characteristics in the alliance success. Divergent empirical findings with respect to the influence of national cultural distance and prior mutual alliance experience – the two most widely studied characteristics of alliance social structure – on alliance performance continue to puzzle researchers. To advance the understanding of this question it is useful to look at how these characteristics affect the ability of partners to establish relationships conducive (or not) to alliance success. This issue has been addressed in the forth chapter. We relied on the institutional logics and the social exchange perspectives to derive hypotheses about the role of the developmental characteristics of interpartner relationships in transmitting the effect of social structure on performance. The hypothesized relationships have been meta-analytically explored. Furthermore, the role of the varying measurement of the constructs among other possible moderating conditions has also been considered. Yet another underexplored question is related to the role of prior experience on alliance success. Empirical findings on this question were conflicting. Furthermore, previous research did not distinguish systematically whether different types of prior experience affect alliance performance, learning, and partners´ ability to build high quality relationships conducive to alliance success differently. These problems have been dealt with in the fifth chapter. We performed a meta-analysis in order to resolve these questions. Overall, the aim of this dissertation was to advance the research on and facilitate the practice of the governance of strategic alliances. Systematic quantitative analysis of empirical findings from individual studies allowed for better estimates of true population correlations and establishing the extent of the generalizability of the current empirical results. It helped to analyze the current state of research objectively and suggest how it can regain force by identifying useful directions for further research. The broad theory-based frameworks that have been proposed unified fragmented theoretical and empirical contributions, and therefore this analysis will help to understand the high-level implications of the accumulated body of research better. The research conducted in this dissertation will also be useful to practitioners by rendering elements of informal relational governance more comprehensible, and by suggesting which areas of alliances process and performance can be affected by social structural characteristics as well as by suggesting how different types of prior experience contribute to an alliance.

Testo completoEnergy and maritime-history affairs have played particularly important parts in the alignment of regional and international relations in the Eastern Mediterranean, and Turkey has played a pivotal regional role in all these matters. This study examines the role of Turkey as it explores the Middle East more generally, from World War II to the present day, asking how dynamic strategic alliances and regional relations in the Eastern Mediterranean have been regulated in terms of energy and maritime-security issues. The thesis has five chapters: Chapter II discusses the geographic, political, military, and especially economic importance of the region. Chapter III provides a historical review of energy and maritime-related crises and case studies that occurred in the Eastern Mediterranean and their effect on the alignments of strategic alliances. Chapter IV presents the current situation in the Eastern Mediterranean in terms of energy and maritime security and examines Turkey`s increasing strategic role in the region. This chapter provides information about the importance of Eastern Mediterranean hydrocarbon resources, the geopolitical importance of Turkey as an energy hub, probable energy problems in default of delimitation of the maritime area, strategic-alliance problems and the militarization of energy security. Chapter V summarizes the main analyses and presents the importance of the current geostrategic alignment of alliances in terms of energy and maritime security, and Turkey’s key role in the settlement of disputes in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Testo completoEsta dissertação de mestrado tem como objetivo compartilhar os resultados de uma investigação sobre as implicações estratégicas das alianças e redes de relacionamento estabelecidas no setor de downstream, área de distribuição de combustíveis, no Brasil, um dos que apresenta maior faturamento e que mais arrecada impostos no país. Primeiro, apresentamos fundamentos teóricos pertinentes à pesquisa sobre alianças e redes estratégicas, inclusive tipologias de alianças, além das teorias sobre a capacidade destas em alavancar as oportunidades e neutralizar as ameaças no nível da indústria. Além disso, foram considerados modelos conceituais e outras ferramentas para conduzir análises estratégicas pela ótica relacional, ou seja, no que se refere às alianças e redes formadas por estas. Em seguida, de acordo com a metodologia de estudo de caso de Yin, adotamos a estratégia de triangulação dos métodos. Assim, dados foram coletados por meio de investigação documental, levantamento de percepções do tipo survey e, em alguns casos, observação participativa. Com os resultados obtidos no âmbito do estudo de casos múltiplos, evidenciamos que a análise na ótica relacional, que leva em conta as implicações estratégicas das redes nas quais as empresas atuam, agrega valor às análises tradicionais, contribuindo com novos insights para a tomada de decisão estratégica dessas empresas.
This master`s dissertation has the objective of sharing the results of an investigation about the strategic implications of alliances and relationship networks established in the downstream sector, fuel distribution area, in Brazil, which earns the highest revenues and pays the highest taxes. First, we present theoretical issues pertinent to the research on alliances and strategic networks, including alliances typologies, in addition to theories on the capacities of these alliances to leverage opportunities and neutralize industry level threats. Besides that, it was considered conceptual models and other tools to conduct strategic analysis through the relational view, that is, related to the alliances and networks constituted by these. Following that, in accordance with Yin`s case study methodology, a strategic triangulation of methods was adopted. Therefore, data was collected through documental investigation, surveys of management perception and, in some cases, participative observation. With the results attained in the ambit of multiple case-studies, it was evidenced that the relational view, that is the one which takes into account strategic implications from the networks, adds value to traditional analysis, contributing with new insights on the strategic decision making of these companies.
