Knowledge creation in strategic alliances based on an evolutionary perspective: a mathematical representation
نویسنده
چکیده
Received: 7 June 2007 Accepted: 10 September 2008 Abstract From the resource-based view, strategic alliances can be defined by a long-term cooperative arrangement between two or more independent firms that exchange and share resources to gain market power and competitive advantage. Since knowledge has become the critical element for firms to achieve competitive advantage, one goal of strategic alliances can be realized by acquiring knowledge through partners. In this paper, the process of knowledge creation in strategic alliances is explained and clarified based on an evolutionary perspective. In addition, a mathematical representation is used to show how knowledge is created in strategic alliances, why firms are willing to create and share knowledge by entering into alliances, and what conditions are required to achieve successful knowledge creation under such arrangements. Knowledge Management Research & Practice (2009) 7, 52–64. doi:10.1057/kmrp.2008.31

Motivation and resource-allocation for strategic alliances through the DeNovo perspective
In recent years, there are many theories and models such as transaction cost theory and the resource-based view have been proposed to explain the formation of strategic alliances. However, the perspectives are usually limited and incomplete. Additionally, the problem of resource allocation is also a serious issue when firms enter strategic alliances. The paper, here, proposes a holistic perspec...

متن کاملKnowledge Management in Strategic Alliances: A Review of Empirical Evidence
Knowledge-related and organizational learning processes in alliances have received much attention throughout the last 25 years. The field has generated a rapidly growing body of empirical evidence on how knowledge is managed in alliances. However, the sphere is highly complex, fragmented, incoherent, and heterogeneous in terms of the theoretical approaches applied. This paper presents an integr...
