  • Determinants of the international strategic alliance process and alliance failure : learning from the Volvo-Renault break-up
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances. - : Inderscience Publishers. - 1756-6444 .- 1756-6452. ; 6:1/2, s. 86-110

    • While the scholarly focus has shifted from strategic alliance formation to alliance performance and thus alliance outcome, the process that leads to a particular outcome: alliance success or alliance failure remains indeterminate. Given their high failure rate, this study aims to identify factors that contribute to an alliance failure to better understand the strategic alliance management process to help alliances survive. Purposefully, the Volvo-Renault alliance break-up is investigated. A Process Model for International Strategic Alliance Lifecycle is developed. The findings establish that post-formation, the strategic alliance process necessitates managing interactions among: partners’ objectives; partners’ resource contribution; access to partner’s network; and alliance performance. However, for an alliance to sustain, learning and assessment must be an integral part. Learning and assessment are critical strategic inputs that serve as ‘binding forces’, and as an ‘alert mechanism’ whereby timely corrective managerial actions are triggered in favor of an alliance sustainability and vice versa.

  • Social responsible supply chain and packaging strategy : a conceptual framework
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances. - 1756-6444 .- 1756-6452. ; 3:2-3, s. 121-139
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This paper provides a framework by developing a conceptual model of socially responsible supply chain-based orientation (SRSC) and the incorporation of this orientation to the socially responsible packaging. Strategic alliance in the form of inter-firm and supply chain relationships are highlighted in this paper. By reviewing the literature in SCM, packaging, marketing, strategic alliances and CSR, appropriate constructs and related scale items were identified. Then, a panel of experts from academia and industry were consulted due to further improvements of the design of the study. To this point, resources and capabilities as driving factors have been largely left unexplored and the effect of these forces on socially responsible supply chain-based orientation, packaging and competitive advantage are brought to surface as further fruitful perspectives for future research. This research mainly assists industrial managers to better steer their supply chain management and packaging decisions in order to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage.

  • A new approach to measure the outcomes of university mergers
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances. - : InderScience Publishers. - 1756-6444 .- 1756-6452. ; 6:1/2, s. 40-49
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Strategic alliances and mergers (SAMs) are well-known organisational instruments to increase the pool resources, competitive advantages, strengthen the power and strategic positioning for achieving synergy effects (SEF). This study aims to explore and measure the possible SEF of mergers using the 5Qs approach. Data for this study was collected from questionnaires. The data was analysed using a multiple regression model in order to test the effect of the independent variables related to mergers and the dependent variable of SEF. The results indicate that not all qualities were significant but the infrastructure-oriented construct (INFRA) and the process-oriented construct (PROC) are the most significant in the regression models for obtaining better SEF of the merger relationship. The study extracts the valuable lessons that might help others to effectively utilise mergers and strategic alliances between corporations and higher education institutions.

  • Marriage versus Strategic Alliance : Soft and Hard dissatisfaction and Failure Factors
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances. - : InderScience Publishers. - 1756-6444 .- 1756-6452. ; 5:1, s. 22-33
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Marriage can be defined as a social-institutional agreement or an institution or organisation in which interpersonal relationships are acknowledged. Divorce is an epidemic, and so is strategic alliance. Both are based on the actions and reactions between people in the context of interpersonal relationships. The number of marriages is going down and correspondingly divorces seem to occur at a more rapid rate, and this phenomenon is found in strategic alliance partnership too. Hence, just like marriages in the recent times, a majority of institutional partnerships fail. What makes a marriage, or a strategic alliance, tick initially? Many, which include romance and mutual desires, goals, and expectations as well as name and fame in the eyes of the public and in general life filled with happiness. However, just like most marriages, strategic alliance partnerships fail too at some point in time, marred by failure, dissatisfaction, bitterness, and yes, eventually, end in divorce. This article discusses findings derived from an empirical survey to identify critical soft and hard factors that negatively influence partnership or relationship dynamics. The article suggests remedial measures that may be used to avoid factors that lead to dissatisfaction and failure in the context of inter-organisational relationships.

  • The impact of resource-based practices on strategic alliance motivations in engineering and construction sector
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances. - : InderScience Publishers. - 1756-6444 .- 1756-6452. ; 5:3/4, s. 234-244
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This study comprehensively evaluates the links between the resource-based theory and strategic alliance motivations and firm performance in engineering and construction sector. Results based on a sample of 159 manufactures indicate that there are statistical significances for the strategic motivations and management motivations and very acceptable statistical significance for the financial motivations. The regression model could not show any statistical relevance regarding the Technological motivations. This means that hypotheses H1, H2 and H3 are confirmed. The correlation between all variables was strong more than r = 0.3, p < 0.00. Support for predictions that the impact of resource-based approach on motivations and performance is in part contingent on their interrelationships and links with competitive strategy was limited.

  • Why do both marriages and strategic alliances have over 50% failure rate? : A study of relationship quality of strategic alliances in China, Japan and Mauritius
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances. - 1756-6444 .- 1756-6452. ; 4:1, s. 1-23
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This research explores the importance of quality variables for achieving high quality in strategic alliance relationship, reasons for strategic alliance failures and provides insights into their underlying causes. Data for analysis is generated from 112 managers from different industries in three countries. Frequency, factor, and regression analysis, reliability tests are used for data analysis. Multiple item scales based on five qualities model (5Qs) were developed and adapted. The results suggest that there is an important interaction between most independent variables and alliance motivations, length and type of alliance. Quality of atmosphere followed by quality of interaction was identified as the most important variables to achieve high total quality of strategic alliance relationship (TQSAR). The proposed 5Qs model consists of some generic and integrated dimensions. Each quality dimension is represented by a number of statements/items, intended to represent a specific quality factor as thoroughly and reliably as possible.
