Abstract: | Based on analyzes in the telecommunication, energy, computer programming and data processing industries including more than 280 international strategic alliances (ISAs) between a U.S. multinational corporation (MNC) and a local firm in emerging economies, it is found that U.S. MNCs forming ISAs requiring higher extent of technological commitments are more likely (here as: a-m-l.) to select their prior partners (as: pr-prts). In addition, it is also found that U.S. MNCs a-m-l. to select pr-prts. for ISAs when there is a larger institutional distance btw. the partners' countries of origin. |
