This paper examines an explanatory power of primary alliance motivation theories, such as 'Transaction-Cost Economics (TCE)' and 'Resource-Based View (RBV)', on the technological alliance partner selection criteria, governance and performance. Adopting perspectives of integration provided by TCE and RBV, this work examines the impact of both theories on the alliance processes such as alliance partner selection, governance and performance. Empirical findings show that both TCE and RBV are effective in explaining the choice of technological alliance partners. In addition, TCE appears to be more effective in providing explanation of technological alliance governance structure. Also, both TCE and RBV are effective in evaluating the technological alliance performance phase, though RBV appears to be slightly more effective.

The focus of our work is to identify and understand the drivers of alliance performance so that businesses can maximize their chances of a successful alliance-an area that has received little attention in empirical modeling. Although both conceptual and applied research on alliances has increased, an empirically tested comprehensive theoretical model that explains alliance performance has yet to be developed. Using five salient perspective, namely market power theory, transaction cost theory, the resource-based view, institutional theory, real option theory, this paper attempts to provide a theoretical rationale linking motives of global alliance networks on firm's capabilities, partner's capabilities, operating structures, and performances of Korean companies. The key contribution of this study is that it paints a picture of what matters in driving alliance performance. Our work shows the complex nature of driving performance and the interplay of firm's capabilities, partner's capabilities, and operating structures for understanding alliance performances. This study has given us a small but significant step forward towards understanding the intricacies of alliance performance. We are now better able to understand the respective roles played by various alliance factors and derive insights that lead to improved alliance performance.

현대의 전기 통신망은 통신서비스의 단순한 제공 수단에서 국가적인 사회간접자본으로 그 역할이 변화되고 있다. 이와 같은 통신망의 역할 변화와 함께 초고속화, 집중화 되는 통신망의 안정성에 대한 체계적인 연구의 중요성은 매우 중요한 문제이다. 통신망의 안정성은 시스템 설계의 신뢰성 확보, 재난에 대한 예방 대책, 재난 관리 시스템 운용, 재해 복구 대책, 사업자간 제휴 등으로 예방 및 대처가 부분적으로 가능하지만 망 사업자의 입장에서는 가능한 자원을 최적으로 활용하여 외부 재해나 내부 장애에도 강건한 구조의 통신망으로 계획하고 설계함이 가장 기초적인 안정성 대책이 된다. 본 논문은 이와 같은 통신망의 안정성을 체계적으로 계획하고 이에 맞게 통신망을 설계하는 일관된 과정(Integrated Network Design Process)을 위한 통신망 안정성에 대한 계층적 모형을 설명하고, 유사동기식 전송 기술에서 최근의 동기식 전송 기술로 대체되고, 향후 ATM 전달 모드로의 진화되는 추세를 감안할 때 필수적인 새로운 통신망 안정성 모형을 제시한다. 특히 기존에는 Logical Layer와 Transmission System Layer로 나누어 계획되고 설계되는 일련의 과정들이 동기식 장비들의 개선된 interworking과 ATM의 유연한 망구조의 장점 때문에 통합되어 계획/설계되어야 하는 필요성과 장단점을 설명하고 최근의 최적화 기술은 이와 같은 통합된 설계 모형에도 효율적이 해결 방안을 제공함을 보여준다. 이와 같은 제시된 통합 방법론/모형과 함께 한국통신의 기간 전송망의 계획과 설계에 사용된 사례를 제시하고, 향후 국가적으로 중요한 관심 사항인 초고속통신망/BISDN의 구축에 효율적으로 응용되기 위한 추가적인 연구 주제와 기대성과를 논의한다.

This study analyzes whether cooperating with various types of partners contributes to a company's innovation performance as well as the moderating effect of absorptive capacity and appropriability that may affect learning in such relationship. The hypothesis is that cooperating with diverse partners will have a positive effect on the innovation performance since it acquires their knowledge and information. In addition, an analysis is conducted on the moderating effect of absorptive capacity and appropriability on the relationship between alliance portfolio consisting various partners and innovation since absorptive capacity that encourages learning is likely to positively moderate the relationship between partner diversity and innovation while appropriability, the capacity to protect the proprietary technology, is likely to undermine learning from partners. The result of the empirical analysis on Korea's key industries, machinery and automobile, using the 2010 Korea Innovation Survey(KIS) data on manufacturing shows that cooperating with various types of technology partners has a positive effect on innovation performance and moderating effect on appropriability.

With the rapid development of information and communication technologies, the boundaries of markets become blurred, and with the increasing uncertainties and risks of the future, competition among global companies becomes more intense. Accordingly the enterprises are considering or already taking cooperation strategies with enterprises in a competitive relationship as well as cooperative enterprises in a high correlation with one's own company as a plan to actively cope with changes in management environments. Thus, a cooperation strategy is an important element for the strengthening of the competitiveness of enterprises as well as the survival of the enterprises. However most preceding studies on cooperation strategies focus only on the effects of the properties of cooperation enterprises on the selection of cooperation partner enterprises and the business performance of the enterprises. Therefore, this study carried out an empirical analysis of the motivation and purpose of the construction of cooperation strategies by enterprise and what differences there are in factors to which importance is attached in selecting partners. In addition, this study analyzed the differences depending on the size: large and small enterprises and depending on the industry: electronics and chemical industries during AHP using a pairwise comparison technique.
