Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Do rivals' alliances increase or decrease the competitive pressure experienced by a firm? Linking ecological and economic research on organizations, we propose that the effects of rivals' horizontal, upstream, and downstream alliances are determined by the degree to which they (1) foreclose a focal firm's alliance opportunities and (2) increase industry carrying capacity. We also hypothesize that firms can co-opt rivals' alliances by partnering with well-linked rivals. An analysis of Canadian biotechnology firms supports these predictions.
