Abstract

Purpose

–

The purpose of this paper is to elucidate information on what creates the different types of knowledge.

Design/methodology/approach

–

In the conceptual model it is argued that the concept of social capital provides an interesting view on the creation of market‐specific and firm‐specific knowledge.

Findings

–

The major finding from the paper is that knowledge is an important by‐product of an alliance forming process, a process commonly termed as alliance learning.

Research limitations/implications

–

Both market‐specific and firm‐specific knowledge have implications on two main types of alliance learning, that of mutual and non‐mutual learning.

Practical implications

–

Alliance managers need to be aware that knowledge is a key driver as well as a beneficial outcome in the formation of alliances.

Originality/value

–

This paper examines how the different types of knowledge evolve and how these different types of knowledge impact upon alliance learning.
