Abstract: | This study used two variables, i.e. competing similarity and cooperating similarity, in developing a comprehensive model forcing a simultaneous treatment of partner characteristics and partner capabilities in global strategic alliances. An empirical test of this model using a sample of 70 global strategic alliances indicated mixed support for the study's hypotheses. It is suggested that competing similarity has a negative effect and cooperating similarity has a positive effect on alliance outcomes. In addition, it is also shown that deliberate 'relational efforts' reduce the frictional effects of differences in partner characteristics. |
