Abstract

This study examined adomestic firm's perspective on how their choice of partner selection criteria affects the mediating variables and the performance of international strategic alliances with particular reference to previous experience as a moderating variable. The findings of this study showed that the task-related and partner-related criteria are both positively related to trust and commitment but the results concerning the partner-related criteria repudiates the existing practices that domestic firms select foreign partners based on the partners' attributes because this weaken the commitment of the partnership. This study suggests that firms should revise their partner selection criteria, which will eventually lead to the more desirable performance of international strategic alliances.

본 연구는 파트너선정에 적합한 결정기준의 제안과 파트너 선정요인이 제휴성과에 미치는 영향 관계를 국내기업 관점에서 신뢰도와 몰입도 그리고 제휴경험 등의 요인별 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 제휴체결 당시 과업관련 선정기준을 중심으로 파트너를 선정하는 성향과 파트너관련 선정기준을 적용하는 성향의 기업들에 있어 별다른 차이점 없이 신뢰형성과 제휴몰입도에 긍정적인 영향을 주고 있는 것으로 나타났으나 파트너 관련 선정기준을 적용하는 기업의 경우 제휴몰입도와의 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다 (CR=1.065). 또한 기존의 제휴경험이 파트너 기업 간 신뢰도와 제휴몰입도를 높일 것이라는 예상과 다르게 경험 유무가 별다른 차이를 보여주지 않았고 오히려 과업관련 선정기준으로 파트너를 선정한 기업의 경우 제휴경험이 없을수록 신뢰도 형성에 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다 ($x_2{^2}-x_1{^2}=5.452$). 본 연구는 제휴를 도입하려는 국내기업이 제휴파트너를 선택하는 과정에서 국내기업의 환경에 적합한 선정 기준을 제안하고 기업의 이해 폭을 넓히며 파트너 선정기준의 결정요인들과 신뢰와 몰입 등 관계자원의 영향을 통합적으로 분석하고 성공적 제휴관계 형성과 성과를 위한 파트너 선정의 중요성을 강조함으로서 이론적 실무적 시사점을 제시하고 있다.
