Abstract

[fre] Des alliances se nouent de plus en plus fréquemment entre des firmes concurrentes qui coopèrent sur des terrains où elles seraient en principe censées s'affronter. Contrairement à certains travaux théoriques analysés dans l'article, les recherches empiriques existantes, fondées sur des bases de données descriptives, explorent insuffisamment la relation entre coopération et concurrence dans ces stratégies. Pour progresser dans cette voie, une analyse statistique originale des alliances a été développée. Son originalité est de repérer les apports, symétriques ou dissymétriques, des alliés en termes d'actifs et de compétences, pour les corréler avec des variables plus classiques (zones géographiques, forme juridique, secteur d'activité...). Le traitement statistique de ces données permet de construire une « carte » des alliances repérant les différents types de rapports de concurrence/association qui s'instaurent entre alliés. [eng] A growing number of alliances are made between competing firms which cooperate in fieds where they normally should be bitter rivals. The economics and business strategy literature enables one to interpret the ambiguous relation between cooperation and competition, but the existing empirical studies which are based upon descriptive data bases on alliances, provide little understanding of this issue. This paper is an original empirical research trying to fill this gap. Its distinctive feature is to take into account the assets and the capabilities contributed by each allied firm, on a symmetrical or a dissymmetrical basis. Then, this characteristics are correlated with more classical variables (geographical zones, industries, types of partnership, etc.). The statistical processing of the data leads to a « chart » of alliances which identifies the different types of competition/cooperation links that appear between the allies.
