    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.
