Introduction

Abstract

Why are some organisations more successful with their strategic technology partnerships than others? Although the benefits of interfirm partnerships have long been recognised, evidence suggests that some organisations are better at creating and capturing value through their strategic partnerships (Anand and Khanna, 2000; Heimeriks and Duysters, 2007; Kale et al., 2002). From a resource-based perspective, such performance differentials reflect variance in STP capabilities across organisations.
