Abstract

We examine the performance consequences of partner resource ambidexterity in alliance portfolios. Drawing from the RBV and the literature on ambidexterity in respect to exploration/exploitation, we develop hypotheses that are tested with data on firms from the global airline industry over the period 1994 to 2008. We find that firm performance differentials can be explained by the balance of product market extending and efficiency improving partner resources accessed through alliance portfolios. Our results also show that the balance-performance relationship is negatively moderated by the average amount of resources accessed per partner.
