Abstract: Abstract A process approach to the management of alliance networks at the formation stage utilizes a value chain model. The concept starts with the choice of a firm’s strategy. The main associated tasks (basic processes), which are necessary to create the network, are presented on a value chain continuum. Movement from one process to the next (e.g., from partner selection to the due diligence) adds value. All the basic processes are accompanied by factors that must be considered at this stage, e.g., network size, acceptable level of competition within the group etc. This process has a universal nature and can be applied to all types of alliance network.
