“…From the institutional economics point of view, TCE is based on firms outside competitive environment aiming at minimizing the cost of transactions, but RBV focuses on the firm's internal competitiveness for full utilization of resources (Das & Teng, 2000). TCE focuses on efficiency of transactions and does not provide explanation for value creation through exchanging, exploiting resources by inter-firm alliances (Henderson & Clark, 1990;Lai & Chang, 2010;Pisano, 1990). Launching products or services first in the market is very important in high-tech industry.…”

“…However, it is not yet clear which theory such as TCE and RBV is more effective in explaining the alliance formation. Some researchers tried to compare the exploratory power of TCE and RBV on alliance formation (see Columbo, 2003;Lai & Chang, 2010;Odagiri, 2003;Yasuda, 2005). However, the results of empirical studies are not 1 Korea University of Technology and Education, Republic of Korea.…”

“…Inter-firm alliance life cycle can be classified into: 1) firm motivation to form alliance, 2) finding suitable alliance partners, 3) choosing an appropriate alliance governance structure and 4) evaluating the performance of alliance (see Das & Teng, 2000;Kale & Singh, 2009). Alliance motivation can influence alliance partner selection (Dong & Glaister, 2006;Niesen, 2003), governance structure (Das & Teng, 2000;Lai & Chang, 2010) and performance (Lai & Chang, 2010). Yet, little attention has been paid to technological alliance motivation in alliance literature.…”

This paper examines the impact of two main alliance motivation theories, transaction cost economics (TCE) and resource based view (RBV), on alliance processes among Korean manufacturing high-tech ventures. Results show that TCE and RBV are complimentarily explaining the formation of inter-firm alliances. TCE variables are more related with alliance partner characteristics while RBV is more linked with partner capabilities. Both show positive effects on performance. No significant effect is found on determining an alliance governance structure. While selecting appropriate technological alliance partners show positive effects on performance, no significant effect is found between alliance governance structure and performance. Factors of both theories impacting each alliance stage and analytical explanations of such impacts are discussed.

Research Summary We add to the literature examining the ownership‐innovation relationship by examining two major investor types: corporate investors and family investors. We use organizational environmental scanning as a new perspective to understand how these investors' capabilities influence firms' external cooperation and innovation performance. We found that corporate investors with broad investment experience strengthen a firm's environmental scanning, enhancing innovation performance by increasing the number of external cooperation activities the firm engages in. Conversely, family investors' broad investment experience tend to be negatively associated with the number of external cooperation and with firm innovation. Our results show that investors influence firm innovation not simply through a monitoring role but also by affecting firms' abilities to innovate, once we factor in the types of investors and their capabilities. Managerial Summary We investigate how two different types of investors, corporate and family, influence the innovation performance of publicly‐traded high‐tech firms in Taiwan. We found that the presence of major corporate investors with broad investment experience enhances firms' innovation performance by increasing external cooperation activities firms engage in. Corporate investors appear to enhance organizations' environmental scanning abilities and, in turn, their innovation performance. Conversely, family investors' broad investment experience is negatively associated with firm innovation because such firms engage in fewer external cooperation activities. A focus on control and social cohesion in family firms appears to decrease the emphasis on external knowledge acquisition when family investors have broad investment experience. In summary, our results show that investors' breadth of investment experience influences firms' ability to innovate.
