Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the performance of alliance through estimation of productivity growth. This study analyzes using the Transaction-Cost theory.<br> With research about alliance, most of them are case study. This has very important role in management research, but it is hard to derive universality from case study.<br> On the other hand, with research about estimation of productivity growth, there are many empirical researches. These researches are analyzed using production function. These are developed in accuracy of estimation, but not in content or way of alliance analysis. So, this study analyzed by using the model based on the model for productivity growth.<br> To begin with, this study organizes the contentions of resent empirical studies. And this study considers Transaction-Cost theory and set the hypothesis about relation between alliance and performance.<br> Then, this study grasps alliances in Japanese electric machinery industry quantitatively by using Nikkei-Telecon21 system, which is article retrieval system in Nikkei Inc, to analyze empirically. The object of analysis is electric machinery firms in ”Handbook of Industrial Financial Data 2005” edited by Development Bank of Japan. Analyze period is from 1993 to 2006, because the firm used here belongs to same industries in the period.<br> Finally, this paper estimates using the model based on Cobb-Douglas production function, which is used many precedence research. As the result of estimation, it was showed that (i) R&D alliance with the firm belong to same industry gives more positive influence to productivity grows, (ii) alliance in pair of firms and alliance with capital gives negative influence.<br>JEL Classification: L22, L64, M10, M21
