Opportunism and trust in cross- national lateral collaboration: the Renault-Nissan Alliance and a theory of equity-trust
通过分析雷诺-日产联盟，基于微观基础理论和四种组织公平，提出公平信任理论，识别出五种促进公平的实践，这些实践抑制机会主义、培养信任，从而从整体绩效和学习协同两方面影响联盟绩效。
Post-merger integration governance and management mechanisms facilitating lateral collaboration remain opaque. In an analysis of the Renault-Nissan Alliance, we abduce a theory of equity-trust by drawing on microfoundations theory and four types of organizational justice. We identify five practices that motivate distributive, procedural, informational, and interactional justice, and find that these practices discourage opportunistic behavior and foster trust thereby influencing alliance performance in two ways: sum of the parts and learning and synergies. Our findings contribute to understanding cross-national lateral collaboration in the form of symbiotic post-merger integration in strategic alliances.
