Managing Knowledge in Strategic Alliances is a volume in the book series
Research in Strategic Alliances that will focus on providing a robust and
comprehensive forum for new scholarship in the field of strategic alliances.
In particular, the books in the series will cover new views of
interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks and models, significant practical
problems of alliance organization and management, and emerging areas of
inquiry. The series will also include comprehensive empirical studies of
selected segments of business, economic, industrial, government, and
non-profit activities with wide prevalence of strategic alliances. Through
the ongoing release of focused topical titles, this book series will seek to
disseminate theoretical insights and practical management information that
will enable interested professionals to gain a rigorous and comprehensive
understanding of the field of strategic alliances.
Managing Knowledge in Strategic Alliances contains contributions by leading
scholars in the field of strategic alliance research. The 11 chapters in
this volume cover a number of significant topics that speak to the critical
issues in managing knowledge in strategic alliances. The chapter topics
cover both the broader issues, such as managing uncertainty in alliances,
collaborative know-how, novelty in interpartner knowledge, coopetition in
knowledge integration, and dynamic knowledge capabilities, and the more
focused problems of innovation and partner selection, partner responsiveness
and knowledge in supply chain networks, the effect of knowledge flows on the
decision to cooperate, and interpartner learning dynamics in an alliance
constellation. The chapters include empirical as well as conceptual
treatments of the selected topics, and collectively present a wide-ranging
review of the noteworthy research perspectives on knowledge management in
strategic alliances.
