Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stable alliance networks often emerge in mature industries with predictable market cycles as the firms in these industries are more likely to seek out long-term partnerships and collaborations to enhance their competitive position and ensure steady growth. In contrast, industries with short product life cycles may require firms to quickly adapt to changes and innovate on their own, while declining industries may not have as many opportunities for fruitful collaborations.
