摘要：Research on strategic alliances has a long tradition in management stud ies. Strategic alliances have been investigated using multiple theoretical lenses from RBV to agency and transaction cost, and diverse contexts, from the semiconductor to airline industries. In this study we scrutinize the extant strategic alliance researc h in thirty - one top - ranked business/management journals, over a twenty - year period, from 1993 to 2012. In a sample of 866 articles we conducted citation and co - citation analyses employing social network techniques and factor analysis to identify research t hemes and make sense of the stock of accumulated knowledge and theoretical trends. We were able to identify some shifts in research over time, namely from a focus on performance and theoretical emphasis on transaction cost theory and governance concerns, m oving to a learning and knowledge transfer approach, social networks and collaboration. This study provides the foundations over which future research may develop to fill conceptual and empirical gaps.
