Over the past three decades the governance of strategic alliances has become a prominent topic among strategy and management scholars. Prior literature has predominantly relied on studying governance from a structural (e.g., contracts) and relational (e.g., trust) perspective. However, while prior literature has built a well-developed understanding of alliance governance, recent advances in the global environment related to alliance governance research (e.g., in forms of inter-organizational collaborations, governance mechanisms and global challenges) provide an opportune moment to reflect on past governance research to bring consensus on how to approach these new directions. This symposium will bring together prominent scholars on alliance governance literature to reflect on how we can advance alliance governance research towards the future.
