基于结构灵活性与刚性视角的企业联盟稳定性研究

战略联盟已经成为流行全球的一种企业合作方式,却自诞生之初就一直经受着稳定性的考验.战略联盟是冲突性力量发展的点的集合,这些力量形成的张力内生地对其稳定性造成了影响.灵活性和刚性是其中一对张力,它们相互竞争着支配地位,任何一方取得支配地位都可能改变联盟现状.灵活性与刚性两种力量之间的相对平衡对一个可持续的联盟来说是必需的,故可从选择正确的治理结构与建立企业间的信任机制两个方面寻找中间状态的路径.

Stabilities of Alliances in a Flexibility and Rigidity Perspective

Strategic alliance has become a popular cooperation method but it has suffered much instabilities since its first implementation.Strategic alliances are sites in which conflicting forces and tensions grow.One of the salient tensions named flexibility and rigidity has intrinsic impacts on the stabilities of strategic alliances.They compete for dominance,leading to the overthrow of the status quo while one force gathers enough power to dominate over its competing force.In this paper,we examine this theoretical hypothesis employing data from our surveys.Our research reveals that the relative balance between flexibility and rigidity is significant in constructing a sustainable alliance.Based on this,we conclude with how to find a moderate path to balance in terms of choosing proper governance and constructing trust between partners.
