Haas School of Business, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720, U.S.A.I am grateful to Thomas Jorde and two anonymous referees for their helpful insights. I am also indebted to Michael Gerlach for assistance in understanding the differences in industrial organization between the United States and Japan. Patrizia Zagnoli and Oliver Williamson provided insights into the theory and practice of strategic alliances. An earlier version of this paper was published in Japanese in Business Review, Hitotsubashi University, March 1989.https://doi.org/10.1142/9789812796929_0016Cited by:42 PreviousNext AboutSectionsPDF/EPUB ToolsAdd to favoritesDownload CitationsTrack CitationsRecommend to Library ShareShare onFacebookTwitterLinked InRedditEmail Abstract: Discussions of the link between firm size and innovation are outmoded because the boundaries of the firm have become fuzzy in recent decades. Strategic alliances — constellations of bilateral agreements among firms — are increasingly necessary to support innovative activities. Such alliances can facilitate complex coordination beyond what the price system can accomplish, while avoiding the dysfunctional properties sometimes associated with hierarchy. Antitrust law and competition policy need to recognize that these new organizational forms are often the functional antithesis of cartels, though they may have certain structural similarities. A more complete understanding of bilateral contracts and agreements ought to reveal when and how cooperation can support rather than impede innovation and competition.
