Franco-British Strategic Alliances:: A Contribution to the Study of Intra-European Partnerships

Ulrike Mayrhofer

European Management Journal, 2002, vol. 20, issue 1, 10-17

Abstract: This article provides an insight into strategic alliances formed between French and British companies. Based on a sample of 148 collaborative agreements, it aims at contributing to a better understanding of intra-European partnerships. The author analyses key statistics of Franco-British corporate links: temporal evolution, sectoral distribution, number of partners, functional content, and contractual form. Furthermore, methodological aspects concerning the observation of alliance formation are discussed and large-scale empirical studies of international coalition activity are examined.
