Reviews'The book by Jorma Larimo, Niina Nummela and Tuija Mainela on interfirm collaboration is a welcome addition to a growing field of study. This volume provides many novel contributions that shift the focus from organizational boundaries to the actions and actors, providing a number of new perspectives on alliances and networks in the context of international business. This book provides an interesting overview on emerging questions that relate to international alliances and networks that will provide food for thought for scholars and managers.', 'Along with their impressive set of contributors, Larimo, Nummela and Mainela address the major issues that have led to the fragmented nature and inconsistency in research results in the literatures of alliances and networks. This book fills many of the structural holes in these two research domains and identifies the most fruitful areas for future scholarly work.' --Patricia McDougall-Covin, Indiana University, US 'The new book by Jorma Larimo, Niina Nummela and Tuija Mainela on interfirm collaboration is a welcome addition to a growing field of study.

This Handbook sheds new light on this research by combining the two topics and focuses on highlighting their similarities. The expert contributors discuss topics surrounding the state-of-the-art in alliance and network research such as organizing opportunities in international entrepreneurship; transaction costs in alliances and joint ventures; diaspora networks; and national culture and international alliances. They go on to look at conceptual developments relating to born globals; subsidiary performance; internationalisation; and knowledge transfer and organisational learning. Finally, they present empirical evidence of international alliances and networks. They combine diverse types of studies including literature reviews, conceptual papers and empirical studies in order to provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the topic. Researchers with an interest in joint ventures and alliance and networks, along with students and academics of international business will find this book to be a valuable resource. Contributors: S.
