Handbook
of Strategic Alliances (Hardcover), by Oded Shenkar (Editor), Jeffrey J. Reuer
(Editor), Sage Publications, Inc; 1 edition (August 30, 2005).
The
Handbook
of Strategic Alliances covers state-of-the-art research on strategic
alliances and serves to pave the road for future alliance research. Little is understood
about the specific managerial challenges involved in establishing and operating alliances
from their initial setup and throughout their life cycle. The Handbook
is intended to fill this gap by looking inside some of the “black boxes” that
have been acknowledged in the alliance literature but seldom opened. Leading scholars and
practitioners from around the globe chart the alliance literature, its evolution, current
state, and future course. An in-depth look at cross-border alliances is examined; followed
by an examination of new alliance forms in the new economy, entrepreneurial networks, and
collaborations between for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. The Handbook
concludes with the examination of methodological issues addressing the prospect for
interdisciplinary research. Information

Strategic Alliances (Hardcover), by Robert J. Mockler, Wiley (June 23, 1999).

makes this book so useful is that it covers a broader range of alliances and has more

specific decision models covering determining strategic fit, negotiating strategic
alliances and selecting compatible partners, formulating type and structure of alliances
in light of operational fit, and making strategic alliances work. The book also explores
other options instead of alliances such as wholly-owned multinational expansion and
exporting, and has major sections on understanding and managing cross-cultural diversity,
communications and leadership. Case studies include General Motors in China, British
Airways and American Airlines, Airbus Industrie, a celluar phone venture in Tashkent,
British Petroleum/Mobil in Europe, and Puyi-Briggs and Straton Engine Corporation in China.
The systematic processes, contingency frameworks, best practices guidelines and situation
analysis checklists given in this book make it an indispensable guide for managers and
senior managers no matter what the size of their enterprise, especially those involved in
international marketing, planning and management. It is also relevant to consultants and
MBA and post-graduate students interested in the development, management and other
