 The Collective Internationalization Strategy: A Theoretical ApproachRené Haak Chapter 3 in Theory and Management of Collective Strategies in International Business, 2004, pp 25-40 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract In this chapter the key points of scientific theory behind the different forms of collective strategy will be discussed. Central to the observations is a compilation and analysis of the evaluation methods and theories used in researching the phenomenon of collaboration. First of all it should be borne in mind that there is no usable theory which could serve as the basis of an explanation for different forms of collaboration; for example, the development and enhancement of strategic networks and strategic alliances. Sydow noted that an isolated approach would be unsuitable for even just adequate analysis and explanation of the many different forms of collaboration and the relationships between them in the real business world (Sydow, 1992). According to Sydow, using several theoretical approaches and models would permit more effective examination and better understanding of the different aspects and manifestations of the phenomenon of collaboration.
