Overview: This paper examines interactions between internal and external drivers of alliance formation. It argues that firm's use of alliances as a mechanism to adapt to market uncertainties is contingent on internal resource conditions. The results indicate that in volatile markets resource-rich firms access external resources through alliances while resource-poor firms are less likely to do so. However, in relatively stable markets this relationship reverses and resource-poor firms become more active in alliance formation.
