This paper provides a key driver-based conceptual framework that can be used to improve a firm’s success in commercializing technology and in new product innovation resulting from collaboration with other organizations through strategic alliances. Based on a qualitative study using an interview approach, strategic alliances of entrepreneurs in the food processing industry in Thailand are explor...

a r t i c l e i n f o Some scholars hold that dynamic capability is one of the key in searching for competitive advantage in strategic management. But there are still debates on the definition and effects of dynamic capabilities and the role of environmental dynamism. In the context of Chinese-like emerging economies, from a strategic process perspective, this study defines dynamic capability a...

This study is to describe the knowledge network of strategic alliance studies embedded in the leading articles and to explore the key research themes in this field between 1999 and 2008. A total of 521 articles with 21,493 cited references were extracted from the Social Science Citation Index and the Science Citation Index. By using bibliometric methods, the citation and co-citation counts obta...

We extend the consistency principle for strategic games (Peleg and Tijs (1996)) to apply to solutions which assign to each game a collection of product sets of strategies. Such solutions turn out to satisfy desirable properties that solutions assigning to each game a collection of strategy pro®les lack. Our ®ndings lead us to propose a new direction for normative game theory.

Predator-prey interactions are commonly studied with an interest in determining the optimal strategy for prey. However, the implications of deviating from optimal strategy are often unclear. The present study considered these consequences by studying how the direction of an escape response affects the strategy of prey fish. We simulated these interactions with numerical and analytical mathemati...

As the Open Library of Humanities reaches its fifth birthday, this editorial reflects on future strategic direction for platform.

In order to assess the mission and strategic direction in an academic department of biomedical informatics, we used social network analysis to identify patterns of common interest among the department's multidisciplinary faculty. Data representing faculty and their self-identified research methods and expertise were analyzed by applying a network modularity algorithm to detect community structu...
