What Drives Alliance Agility? Governance, Leadership And Capability Development In Alliances
Year: 2006
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This paper provides a conceptual framework explaining the impact of governance and leadership on the development of alliance capabilities.From a dynamic capability perspective we illustrate these effects employing stewardship, full-range leadership and servant leadership theory.Accordingly, the occurrence of specific governance mechanisms influences the alliance managers' leadership behavior.Stewardship governance relates to transformational and servant leadership, while principal-agent governance coincides with transactional leadership.The framework further clarifies how leadership behaviors relate to alliance capability development.Transformational and servant leadership support dynamic and operational capabilities during foundation and development stages, whereas transactional leadership corresponds with the management of mature operational capabilities only.
