Network resource mobilisation limitations and the alliance portfolio network

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine how access and mobilisation of network resources influence a firm's performance. It has been established that alliance portfolio (AP) network parameters shape the access to network resources; however, resource access understood as value creation d...

It has been established that alliance portfolio (AP) network parameters shape the access to network resources; however, resource access understood as value creation differs from resource mobilisation understood as value capture.

The findings convey strategic and practical implications for managers regarding how to capture value from their APs. Practical implications The findings suggest the need for NRM to form part of a firm's AP management capability, so that, by acquiring superior strategic knowledge in NRM, the firm is able to extract value from its AP through the optimal exploitation of complementary assets.

The research empirically analyses an AP network and how its parameters affect financial performance in the presence of a resource mobilisation strategy.
