Article: An Exploration of Failure in Global Collaborative Alliances: Understanding Its Magnitude and Implications Journal: Journal of Business and Management (JBM) 1994 Vol.2 No.1 pp.127 - 156 Abstract: Since the popularity of collaborative alliances in business appears to be on the rise, the potential for failed alliances may also be increasing. This paper explores patterns of failure in global collaborative alliances from a macro perspective. Results indicate that from 1985 to 1991, the majority of failed alliances were cross-border ones; that firms from North America were most likely to be involved in failed alliances; and that equity participation did not improve the potential for a successful alliance.
