Balancing exploration and exploitation in alliance formation
Article Abstract:
An argument that absorptive capacity and organizational inertia impose conflicting pressures for exploration and exploitation with respect to the value chain function of alliances, the attributes of partners and partner's network positions is presented. Results reveal that firms balance their tendencies to explore and exploit over time and cross-domains, although path dependencies reinforce either exploration or exploitation within each of these domains.
