Abstract

Motivations of both offshoring and alliances have been intensively analyzed in the international business field. However the interrelation between the two fields has not yet been investigated in depth. Given the commonalities in the drivers considered in the two streams of research, a combined theoretical framework offers the opportunity to investigate the motivations of the governance choice for delocalized collaborative agreements. Empirical analysis of 256 alliances realized on a global basis between 1986 and 2012 in the major appliances industry reveals that the drivers of governance choices are very different for offshoring ICVs than for market-entry alliances.
