Abstract

In this note, the author provides a critique of Culpan (2009). Specifically, the author addresses the epistemology of the extant body of alliance research, probes various schemas for categorising strategic alliances, and briefly discusses agency theory as a theoretical lens with the power to inform scholarly work on alliances. The author closes with two suggestions for future research, namely, bringing alliances and networks closer together as research topics, since they are tightly linked conceptually; and attempting to foresee the architecture of global business in coming decades, as the evolution of organisational forms continues under growingly porous firm, industry, and national boundaries.
