چکیده

تصمیم‌گیری پیرامون ساختار اتحادهای استراتژیک در کنار تصمیم درباره هدف و دامنه اتحاد و تصمیم درباره انتخاب شرکا، یکی از سه پرسش اساسی است که باید برای شکل‌گیری موفق اتحادهای استراتژیک به آنها پاسخ داد. مروری بر پیشینه نظری نمایانگر یافته‌های پراکنده و گاه متضادی پیرامون الگوی ساختاری اتحادهای استراتژیک است. بر همین اساس، پژوهش حاضر می‌کوشد تا با به‌کارگیری روش فراتحلیل، یک جمع‌بندی از عوامل موثر بر انتخاب از میان الگوهای کلان ساختاریِ قراردادمحور و اعتمادمحور ارائه دهد. پس از بررسی و پالایش 516 مطالعه که در بازه 15 ساله 2002 تا 2017 میلادی در نشریات علمی معتبر و بین‌المللی به چاپ رسیده‌اند، 38 مطالعه در فرایند فراتحلیل مورد بررسی قرار گرفت و 24 متغیر با اندازه اثر قابل‌قبول شناسایی شد. یافته‌های فراتحلیل نشان می‌دهد الگوهای کلان ساختاری قراردادمحور و اعتمادمحور نقش مکمل را نسبت به همدیگر دارند و متغیرهای حفاظت حقوقی، نظام حقوقی، اعتماد، کنترل رسمی و فرصت‌طلبی بیشترین شدت تاثیر و متغیر سازوکارهای حاکمیتی مشترک کمترین شدت تاثیر را در تصمیم‌گیری برای انتخاب یک الگوی ساختاری در اتحادهای استراتژیک دارند.

چکیده [English]

Decision making about the structure of strategic alliances, beside the decision about goal and scope of alliance and decision about partner selection, is one of the three fundamental questions that should be addressed to form successful strategic alliances. It is believed successful alliances must accomplish two goals which both of them are related to alliance structure: coordinate the optimal combination of productive resources across parties and mitigate the risks of opportunistic behavior. Literature review reveals scattered and sometimes contradictory findings about structural framework of strategic alliances. Hence, current research is tried to provide a concluding remark of effecting factors on choosing between contractual-based and trust-based structural frameworks of strategic alliances with meta-analytics method. After reviewing and filtering of 516 scholarly papers which published in reputed scholarly international journal in a 15 years period (2002-2017), thirty eight papers were put in meta-analytics process and twenty four factors were identified. Findings from this meta-analytics showed that optimal configuration of formal and relational governance mechanisms in an alliance is contingent, and contractual-based and trust-based frameworks are complementary governance. It also showed that legal safeguard, legal system, trust, formal control and opportunism have the most effect and shared governance mechanisms has the least effect on decision about choosing between the structural frameworks of strategic alliances, among others.
