An examination of opportunistic action within research alliances: evidence from the biotechnology industry

Article Abstract:

The utilization of relational contracts in the research and development process is used as the take off point in the establishment of an explanatory model of opportunism deterrents in relational contracts. Potential deterrents include the strength of the contract, communication frequency, the backgrounds of the partners and the number of alliances. The model is tested using 109 research alliances in the biotechnology industry.
