| Abstract: | The paper sketches a theory of the motives of alliances and joint ventures (here as: JV. / JVs.), deducing the reasons for their instability, and discussing the structural factors affecting their performance. It is argued that the alliance literature, by focusing on knowledge internalization, has given short shrift to the empirically more important motive of knowledge access, a strategy called 'cooperative specialization'. It is investigated how various structural solutions can be used to align the interests of the JV. partners. |
