The alliance dynamics among the 35 largest firms in the worldwide automobile industry indicates that the likelihood of an alliance between any two firms depends on the local density of alliances among the members of their strategic groups, rather than on the global density of alliances in the industry. These results suggest that firms most closely observe and imitate the strategic behavior of firms who occupy the same strategic niche rather than the behavior of firms in their industry defined more broadly.

This paper introudces the imporant role of networks of interfirm ties in examining fundamental issues in strategy research. Prior research has primarily viewed firms as autojnomous entities striving for competitive advantage from either external industry sources or from internal resources and capabilties. However, the networks of relationships in which firms are embedded profoundly infleunce their conduct and performance. We identify ive key areas of straegy research in which there is potential for incorporating strategic networks: (1) industry structure, (2) positioning within an industry, (3) inimitable firm resources and capabilities, (4) contracting and coordination costs, and (5) dynamic network constraints and benefits. For each of these issues, the paper outlines some important insights that results from consdiering the role of strategic networks.

We aruge that our model of learning in alliances (Khanna, Gulati and Nohria, 1998) is an economic model of strategy process. We discuss implications of this view for the strategy provess vs. content debate, for the appropriate testing of models of strategy process, and for the role of economics in helping understand strategy process. We propose that the `clean models' from economicks and `dirty hands' of traditional process inquiries offer research designs that are complemetnary rather than incompatible (Hirsch, Michaels and Friedman, 1987).
