A note on the dynamics of learning alliances: competition, cooperation, and relative scope
评论了Khanna等人关于联盟学习的理论框架,指出其虽引入有趣概念,但依赖简单经济模型,与实际联盟管理过程脱节。
Khanna, Gulati, and Nohria (1998) examine the dynamics of alliance learning and develop a conceptual framework designed to capture the tension between cooperation and competition. Based on the concepts of private and common benefits and relative scope, the authors explore firms' learning behavior patterns. This note comments on the framework and suggests that although the framework introduces some interesting concepts, the reliance on simple models from economic theory leaves the framework somewhat disconnected from the process of alliance management.
