Abstract

Case study 1 illustrates how to apply our proposed real options framework to value and choose the right strategy to exit strategic alliances. More specifically, the case study presented here on the joint-venture agreement signed between General Motors and Fiat in 2000 and abruptly terminated in 2005 discusses and reveals the value-added use of option clauses in the design of strategic inter-firm collaborations.
