The cooperative venture formation process: a latent variable structural modeling approach

Article Abstract:

Three theoretical constructs of the cooperative venture formation process were analyzed by studying data from a survey of 67 industrial firms in Sweden and Norway. The 'internal push' construct, the 'analytical scope' construct, and the 'stakeholder support' construct were analyzed through partial least square estimation. The primary managerial implication was that the cooperative venture formation process should be considered to be a step-by-step approach instead of a discrete decision.

On credible delegation by oligopolists: a discussion of distribution channel management

Article Abstract:

Conclusions that delegation in distribution helps manufacturers to make prior strategic commitments to competitive actions that enhance profits were examined. Whether the profitability of such actions depends on market structure is also analyzed. Results show that mechanisms other than strategic ones must account for the use of delegated channels.
