Newly announced journal: International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances

International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances - to begin publication in 2009 - will consider inter-firm partnerships as an alternative and effective strategic option for gaining and sustaining competitive advantage. It will focus on inter-firm collaboration in a variety of forms in various industries in both national and international environments to promote understanding of patterns and strategies of such ventures in the competitive global marketplace. Thus the journal will provide a platform for generation, critiques, and discussion of knowledge on the formation and implementations of strategic alliances between firms.
