Strategic Alliance Research in the Era of Digital Transformation: Perspectives on Future Research
回顾了数字化转型背景下战略联盟研究的理论现状，提出需要更新基于旧时代的假设，并鼓励跨学科讨论以应对联盟形成、演变和解散中的新挑战。
Abstract The emerging digital transformation in the twenty‐first century is rapidly and significantly changing the business landscape. The fast‐changing activities, expectations and new modes of collaboration suggest it is time to review the current theoretical insights from strategic alliance (SA) research, which are based on assumptions from a different era. We therefore aim to stimulate multidisciplinary debate and theoretical reflections to better understand emerging paradoxes and challenges that contemporary firms face in the formation, evolution and dissolution of strategic alliances. Specifically, we offer alternative visions of SA research and suggest fresh applications or supplements of existing theoretical perspectives and research methods that can better address the research questions emerging from an era of digital transformation.
