Glenn Hoetker

Glenn Hoetker's paper, “Alliance experience and governance flexibility,” with Jongkuk Lee and Bill Qualls, is forthcoming in Organization Science.  Glenn and his co-authors find that firms with more experience in alliances are better able to protect their interests no matter how an alliance is structure.  Thus, alliance experience allows firms to be more flexible in how they structure their alliances, which provides competitive advantage by enabling firms to form advantageous alliances that are less available to inexperienced competitors.
