Abstract: We formulate the assumption that organizational capacities should have an impact on the number of allied partners, which is one way to optimize a company's alliances network. According to the path dependency effect, the development of new capacities involved in managing alliances depends on the similarity between current firm's capacities and the new ones. Five hypotheses, for five different organizational capacities, are tested on a sample of 2120 french small and medium size companies. Some organizational capacities have an impact on the number of allied partners. In conclusion, we develop the four main consequences of this results on alliance and firms network. understanding.
