Regional and Global Alliance Network Structures of Triad Multinational Enterprises
Abstract
This study analyzes the structure of regional and global alli‐ance networks of multinationals. It examines the network structure of 172 Triad (U.S., Western European, and Japanese) multinationals during 2001‐2003 and how it affects subsequent corporate performance during 2004‐2006. We study a framework of regional/global strategies based on the social network view of relational ties among firms. Thus, we offer a new perspective to the growing literatures on the regional/global strategies and internationalization of alliance networks.
