What creates and guides a successful partnership? This is the subject discussed in this article. We examine three dimensions of partnerships. The first one is how to determine the direction of a partnership. The selection of suitable partners serves to maitain the balance of interdependence. The secound dimension is the mechanism for conflict resolution which contributes to the stability of a partnership. According to our reseach, the process of formation and maintenance of effective partnership is affected by the interaction of power and trust. In this article we examine the mechanism of power-trust interaction, especially the role of coordinator in managing the partnership and dissolving conflicts. The long-term trust contributes to the stability of a partnership. However, the long-term trust could also become the cause of the rigidity of a partnership. To deal with this disfunction we need the third mechanism which brings about the flexibility of the partnership. It is absolutely necessary to introduce the competitive strategy into partnerships. At the same time, we emphasize the importance of a firm's linkage capability, which could provide flexibility to the firm allowing a quick response to the changing environment. This paper concludes by pointing out that firms can benefit from a partnership if they can build core competence and linkage capability simultaneously.}, pages = {1--18}, title = {企業間パートナーシップの経営}, volume = {16}, year = {1998}, yomi = {チョウ, シュクバイ} }
