Reviews
“The rich high-tech cases and thoughtful analysis
in The Alliance Revolution shed powerful light on global business competition.
Gomes-Casseres is among the first to show how strategic alliances change industry
structure--a lasting contribution to applied economics and business strategy
that will also be of value to managers and consultants.”
Rosabeth Moss Kanter
Harvard Business School
Author of World Class: Thriving Locally in the Global Economy
“This is a fascinating and original study of business
organization in the modern industrial world. The 'constellations' discussed by
Gomes-Casseres give rise to intense competition and a type of dynamic rivalry
among contenders very different from the textbook descriptions we are used to.”
Edith Penrose
Author of Theory of the Growth of the Firm
