Q: What is the core challenge of alliance portfolio

To maximize potential synergies while minimizing coordination complexity and conflicts

Q: An exploration strategy is more likely to be effectuated when an alliance has a set of (3) An exploitation strategy is more likely to be effectuated when an alliance has a set of (3)

Exploration: Redundant alliances (several partners provide a similar type of knowledge), weak ties (loose flexible commitments) and diverse partners (partners with different background) (trap= learning trap learning but not doing) Exploitation: Non reduntant (each partners provides something unique), strong ties and uniform partners (competence trap = core competencies become core rigidities)
