Abstract: Abstract Organizations develop linkages to access markets, capabilities and complementary assets, reduce risk and uncertainty or improve appropriability. Linkages also help reap synergies across economic entities and become competitive. Inter-organization linkages are characterized by a variety of features. These include types of entity involved (e.g. foreign/domestic, private/public), markets served (e.g. foreign/domestic), types of alliance (e.g. involving technology development and licensing, production, marketing and distribution, financial participation and the like). It is the interplay of these features that tends to decide the extent and nature of capabilities developed in the network.
