Dear colleagues,
We are collecting unpublished studies for our meta-analysis on alliance diversity and firm performance. To address the file-drawer problem (Rosenthal, 1979), we would like to request for a notification of any working papers or unpublished studies that take into account the empirical effect of alliance diversity on firm performance. We are including analyses of multiparty alliance as well as alliance portfolios in this study and are hoping to examine the many facets of alliance diversity. Some examples of alliance diversity might include partner diversity, governance diversity, industry diversity, national diversity, and organizational diversity (Jiang, Tao, & Santoro, 2010). Our definition of firm performance incorporates accounting measures including but not limited to ROA, ROI, EPS, debt ratios, and market-based performance measures such as the change of stock prices and Tobin's Q.
We are also interested in variables that would potentially moderate the relationship between alliance diversity and firm performance, such as firm size, firm age, alliance size, financial position, and ownership level. It would be our gain if you could notify us of any study that includes these variables with regard to alliance diversity and firm performance.
Again, we would greatly appreciate your notice if you believe that your study (or other studies that you know of), whether it be a working paper or an unpublished study, could help us in identifying the empirical effects of alliance diversity and firm performance.
Thank you in advance and sincerely,
Katie Kirkpatrick
