Resource and Risk Management in the Strategic Alliance Making Process
识别了联盟伙伴带来的四种关键资源（财务、技术、物质和管理）以及两种基本风险（关系风险和绩效风险），并探讨了资源与风险如何交互影响联盟伙伴的取向和目标。
Resource-based and risk-based views of strategic alliances have not been adequately reflected in the literature. This paper identifies four types of critical resources that the partners bring to an alliance: financial, technological, physical, and managerial resource. It also suggests two basic types of risk in strategic alliances: relational risk and performance risk. The alliance making process is examined in terms of the interactive effects of resource and risk on the orientations and objectives of the prospective alliance partners. Managerial implications are discussed and future research directions indicated in the form of propositions for empirical testing.
