The 14 chapters in this volume cover a number of significant topics that examine the increasingly prominent role of behavioral factors in alliance evolution and management. This behavioral perspective is only recently emerging in the literature but its roots lie in the impact of micro level variables on macro level outcomes. The chapters cover both the traditional behavioral issues, including the role of alliance managers and the dynamics of trust and cooperation, and the emerging research perspectives that deal with topics such as the enactment of alliances, sensemaking in interorganizational relationships, building an alliance culture, managing internal tensions, cognitive dissimilarities, behavioral responses to adverse situations, interpartner legitimacy, and interpretive schemes. The chapters include empirical as well as conceptual treatments of the selected topics, and collectively present a wide-ranging review of the noteworthy behavioral perspectives in the field of alliance research.
