Assessing Replication and Extension. A Commentary on Glaister and Buckley: Measures of Performance in UK International Alliances
评论了Glaister和Buckley对英国国际联盟绩效衡量指标的研究,指出其在复制先前研究、扩展至非股权联盟以及联盟绩效与文化方面的问题,并提出改进建议。
This article reviews and critiques Glaister and Buckley's (1998) examination of measures of performance for a sample of UK international alliances. This article identifies and addresses issues regarding three aspects of Glaister and Buckley's research: (1) concerns regarding their efforts to 'replicate' an earlier study by Geringer and Hebert (1991), (2) concerns with their efforts to extend the study to non-equity alliances, and (3) concerns with efforts to extend their study to issues of alliance performance and culture. Suggestions are provided for improving the Glaister and Buckley study and for conducting future research on alliance performance.
