| Abstract: | This paper presents a model that complements the research stream of transaction cost economics with the dynamic capabilities approach. It shows that even though technological alliances involving specific assets deployed in emerging industries are exposed to high transaction costs, they possess attributes that make them attractive. The model is tested in the waste management industry by using primary data collected through the use of questionnaires. |
