Rescuing troubled alliances... before it's too late

Abstract

Based on case study research, the authors show how alliance failure often follows the opening of a gap between expectations and intermediate outcomes. Failure to detect and attribute the cause of a shortfall, followed by misunderstandings among the partners pave the way to failure. They provide some suggestions on how to rescue alliances in crisis.
