Research on the Origin and Composition of Alliance Portfolio Management Ability

With the increase in innovation risk and the acceleration of technological iterations, a single bilateral alliance cannot meet the needs of corporate innovation activities. More and more companies have established multiple alliance relationships with cross-regional and cross-industry external organizations at the same time. However, most companies are still unable to systematically manage alliance portfolios from a holistic perspective, and usually only focus on conflicts and competitive behaviors between alliances. If an enterprise wants to build a high-performance alliance portfolio, it must have the ability to develop and manage several external alliance relationships, that is, the ability to manage alliance portfolios. Based on the combing and analysis of related research results, the origin and connotation of alliance portfolio management capabilities are systematically analyzed, providing a new perspective for innovation management research in alliance portfolios.
