“…Some scholars argue that the evolution of cooperation and coordination does not necessarily follow a positive or negative spiraling path continuously; instead it traces more complex, less predictable patterns over the course of the alliance (Van de Ven & Walker, 1984).…”
“…Given the important role of partners' subjective understandings of cooperation and coordination issues in an alliance, we can usefully assume that partners' understanding of the relationship between cooperation and coordination and its impact on performance outcomes is also shaped by subjective interpretations (Van de Ven & Walker, 1984). However, disentangling cooperation and coordination issues in an alliance, and accounting for their respective or joint contributions to alliance success (or failure), can be difficult for alliance managers.…”

“…The desire of firms to maintain autonomy has led authors to claim that firms become involved in inter-organizational relationships only when they are compelled to do so ( Van de Ven and Walker, 1984). However, firms do not have the necessary resources to manage all activities within their own organization (Cook, 1977).…”
“…These multiplex relationships emerge in a path-dependent process over time and often produce unforeseen consequences for the actors involved. Prior relationships motivated by both self-and collective interests are remembered and become the culture upon which subsequent relations are based (Van de Ven and Walker, 1984).…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
