| Abstract: | The role of opportunism and trust in the choice between equity and non-equity governance forms forms in alliances has been emphasized in research in transaction cost economics and structural sociology. It is suggested in this article that the uncertainty surrounding partner co-operation is not straightforwardly predictive of governance structure in alliances. Instead, task uncertainty and strategic uncertainty associated with the activities performed within alliances induce coordination and adaptation requirements that are important determinants of alliance governance, independently of partner uncertainty. |
