Vertical Complementary Strategic Alliance
Formed between firms that agree to use their skills and capabilities in different stages of the value chain to create value for both firms.
Outsourcing is one example of this type of alliance.
Horizontal Complementary Strategic Alliance
Formed when partners who agree to combine their resources and skills to create value in the same stage of the value chain.
Focus is on long-term product development and distribution opportunities.
The partners may become competitors which requires a great deal of trust between the partners.

Strategic Alliances
Competition Response Alliances
Occurs when firms join forces to respond to a strategic action of another competitor
Because they can be difficult to reverse and expensive to operate, strategic alliances are primarily formed to respond to strategic rather than tactical actions

Competition Response Alliances
Uncertainty Reducing Alliances
Competition Reducing Alliances
Created to avoid destructive or excessive competition
Explicit collusion: when firms directly negotiate production output and pricing agreements to reduce competition (illegal).
Tacit collusion: when firms indirectly coordinate their production and pricing decisions by observing other firm’s actions and responses.
18
Complementary business-level strategic alliances, especially the vertical ones, have the greatest probability of creating a sustainable competitive advantage.
Horizontal complementary alliances are sometimes difficult to maintain because they are often between rival competitors.
Competitive advantages gained from competition and uncertainty reducing strategies tend to be temporary.
