in recent decades, due to the complexity of the environment, interorganizational collaboration has become the major source of competitive advantage for firms. researches suggested that many of these partnership structures will meet failure in long term. accordingly, this study based on system dynamics method was investigated the critical success factors of strategic alliances in the ceramics an...

This paper analyzes the effects on flight frequency of two alliances that came about in Russian airline market recent years: between Aeroflot and SkyTeam 2006, S7 oneworld 2010. We use a difference-in-differences (DID) model to identify these frequencies. The integration into provides evidence alliance resulted reduced frequencies routes where overlapped with its new partners, but it increased ...

This paper aims to unbundle the antecedents of competence-based synergy in strategic alliance formation process by employing ARCTIC framework. The current research provides a new empirical application framework reveal success factors reciprocal synergies Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi automotive industry. By taking resource-based view on sources competitive advantage, contributes theoretical and pra...

A global o ensive alliance in a graph G = (V; E) is a subset S of V such that for every vertex v not in S at least half of the vertices in the closed neighborhood of v are in S. The cardinality of a minimum size global o ensive alliance in G is called the global o ensive alliance number of G. We give an upper bound on the global (strong) o ensive alliance number of a graph in terms of its degre...

A dominating set S of a graph G is a global (strong) defensive alliance if for every vertex v ∈ S, the number of neighbors v has in S plus one is at least (greater than) the number of neighbors it has in V \ S. The dominating set S is a global (strong) offensive alliance if for every vertex v ∈ V \ S, the number of neighbors v has in S is at least (greater than) the number of neighbors it has i...

Electrical stimulation of midbrain tectum structures, particularly the dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG) and inferior colliculus (IC), produces defensive responses, such as freezing and escape behavior. Freezing also ensues after termination of dPAG stimulation (post-stimulation freezing). These defensive reaction responses are critically mediated by γ-aminobutyric acid and 5-hydroxytryptamine ...

Organizational theorists have correctly argued that the emergence and maintenance of robust cooperation between global strategic alliance partners is related to the diversity in the partners' characteristics. Yet previous research has failed to systematically delineate the important dimensions of interfirm diversity and integrate the dimensions into a unified framework of analysis. This paper d...

A global offensive alliance in a graph G is a set S of vertices with the property that every vertex not belonging to S has at least one more neighbor in S than it has outside of S. The global offensive alliance number of G, γo(G), is the minimum cardinality of a global offensive alliance in G. A set S of vertices of a graph G is a dominating set for G if every vertex not belonging to S has at l...
