Abstract

The paper studies strategic alliances and their role in interna­tional business. The importance of strategic alliances in the global econo­my has increased. Strategic drivers for interfirm co-operation between alli­ance partners are market growth, cost reduction, reducing risk, and access to knowledge. The author focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of strategic alliances. The challenges of managing international strategic alli­ances are also discussed. Ensuring the success of strategic alliances between international firms is more difficult due to alliance partners’ differences in national, organizational and professional culture. International strategic al­liances are critically important to a firm success and coping with globali­zation, deregulation, and developments in information and transportation technology.
