Focusing on inter-firm alliances as a strategic alternative to mergers and acquisitions, this book explores recent trends in international business. It examines collaborations between buyers and suppliers, competitors, and firms across various industries, supported by empirical case studies from sectors like the car industry in the US, Europe, and Japan, as well as the Dutch photocopier industry. By integrating resource-based views, transaction-cost analysis, and institutional economics, it presents a comprehensive theory and practical management methods for inter-firm alliances.
