Introduction
Firm boundaries no longer define the relevant entity for performance management for
many firms. Competitive forces, deregulated economies and technological advances have

(p.38) and major consulting firms are trumpeting partnering skills as the next competitive
battleground (e.g., Harbison and Pekar 1998). Researchers are also finding that the ability
to interact with suppliers in a partnership arrangement, termed relational capital, is a
distinctive organizational capability that firms cultivate deliberately (Lorenzoni and Lipparini
1999). Although the research and teaching in some management disciplines reflect the trend
toward collaboration as a mode of organizing economic activity, the field of accounting has
generally been unresponsive to these changes.2 In his Presidential Lecture at the 2000
American Accounting Association meeting on the future of accounting research,
distinguished accounting scholar, Bill Kinney observed: We need to consider updating the
accounting model to . . . measure and report on entities with cloudy boundaries. . . . how
should we account for an entity whose inventory is owned by another party and whose
fixed assets are owned by a trading partner? (Kinney 2001). Frustrated by the difficulty
of identifying firms that successfully manage complex partner relationships, Forbes editors
noted that measuring financial performance from the outside is nearly impossible
(Anonymous 2001: 64) in part because analysts do not track alliances. These examples focus
on opacity of financial accounting for transactions between partners. In this chapter we
extend remarks by Hopwood (1996) and Scapens and Bromwich (2001), to argue that the
case for a new management accounting for the extended enterprise is equally compelling.
Corporate strategy scholars hypothesize that the ability to lead and participate in effective
collaborations is a distinctive capability associated with increased financial returns (Anand

The New Economy and the Extended Enterprise: Evidence on Strategic Alliances
and Joint Ventures, 19852000
We use data from Thomson Financial Service's SDC Platinum Joint Ventures and Strategic
Alliances Database to vividly illustrate our claim that a central feature of the new economy is
permeable firm boundaries and increased use of collaboration to achieve competitive
advantage. Strategic alliances and joint ventures have increased dramatically in the last
decadea threefold increase between 1990 and 2000 (Figure 3.1). The formation of
collaborative initiatives has also outpaced the benchmark growth in the establishment of new
firms. The US Census reports that the number of new firms grew by 8.7 per cent between
1992 and 1997 (http://www.census.gov/csd/susb/susb2.htm, October 2001). In the same
period, the number of strategic alliances and joint ventures increased by 12.2 per cent.
However, this aggregate statistic masks another trend. Specifically, strategic alliances, which
are not accompanied by the formation of a formal third entity, have become more popular as
compared to joint ventures, which rely heavily on contract law to enforce the terms of
collaboration. Between 1990 and 2000, strategic alliances grew from 48 to 68 per cent of all
announced collaborations.
The swell in collaborative activity has not affected all industries equally (Figure 3.2). The
share and the absolute number of alliances formed in more traditional manufacturing
industries (SIC codes 2039) has declined from a (p.41)

combined share of 57.4 per cent, (2,139 announcements) in 1990 to a combined share of
13.6 per cent (1,413 announcements) in 2000. In contrast, service industries (SIC codes
7089) showed a dramatic increase in the share and the number of collaborations formed
during the period, 1990 to 2000increasing from 16 per cent (609 announcements) to 54
per cent (5,627 announcements) of all collaborations. This extraordinary growth is not
explained simply by growth in the service sector. (US Census data indicate that between
1992 and 1997 the number of manufacturing firms grew only 1.7 per cent, while the
number of service firms grew by 13.3 per cent.) Rather, it reflects a significantly increased
propensity among all service firms to employ collaboration strategies during the 1990s.
Data on the characteristics of collaborations reveal that the motivation for collaborations and
the substance of collaborative activity has also changed (Table 3.1). In 1990, only 12 per
cent of all collaborations were between partners of the same nationality. By 2000, the
equivalent share was 47 per cent. What accounts for the increased use of collaborative
arrangements within national borders? Deregulation and increased free trade play a major
role in diminishing the use of international collaborations as a means of gaining access to
world markets. However this is only part of the story. As the second column (p.42)

Lorenzoni and Baden-Fuller (1995) find that strategic networks have a strong firm at the
centre of the network that takes primary responsibility for ensuring that the network
creates value for all partners. The firm sets rules that govern partner responsibilities and
building capabilities through simultaneous activities in structuring and strategizing. An
executive at Honeywell, a defence industry and technology firm with over 100 alliances,
echoes the importance of a central firm in the network, noting that whenever possible
Honeywell avoids entering into 5050 deals in which nobody is in control (Anonymous 2001:
82).
Surveying the popular business literature, we find that for many firms, the first step in
building a core competency in alliance management is the creation of a new, high-level
management team dedicated to the task of developing alliance relationships. Ellram and Edis
(1996) study of one hundred matched pairs of buyersupplier partners found that the most
successful firms (p.60) dedicated a team that had top management's support and
involvement to managing the partnership. Examples from the business press include United
Airlines formation in 1999 of an alliance division to monitor and create new partnerships (p.
68), Johnson Controls appointment of an executive to oversee each alliance (p. 70), and
Coca-Cola's (p. 73) and IBM's (p. 77) appointment of a vice-president in charge of alliances
and new ventures (Anonymous 2001). Alliance management groups are not an offshoot of
corporate procurement, nor are they a simple variant on a merger and acquisition team,
populated by financial, legal, and tax experts. Indeed, Accenture warns that too many firms
assume that the issues of integration that arise in managing an alliance are similar to those of
a merger or acquisition (www. accenture.com, August 2001). They argue that while
integration and mutual adaptation are essential, they are achieved much more gradually and
require continuous management by individuals skilled in diplomacy and with deep
understanding of the core business objectives of the alliance network.
Facilitating communication and learning
If alliance capability is to become a pervasive core competency of the firm, a key objective
of these new corporate groups will be to capture and transfer alliance knowledge across the
organization. Rivera et al. (2001) study alliance-specific mechanisms for learning, such as:
the similarity of partners, the diversity of employees, and enabling processes and
technologies that integrate the firms. As an example of the latter, Kodak developed and
adopted a methodical approach for partnering with other firms in 1991 (Ellram and Edis
1996). The demand for standard practices and codified approaches to managing partner
relations will increase with the number of alliance partners and the complexity of the

Conclusion
The past decade has seen a tremendous growth in strategic alliances and joint ventures
across a variety of industries, providing evidence of the phenomena of newly emergent
forms of collaborative interfirm relationships. The volume of this collaborative activity and
the longevity of many of these relationships suggests that interfirm alliances do, in fact,
represent a sustainable organizational form. Despite this, strategic alliances have received
little attention in the accounting academic literature.
Transaction cost economics suggests that hybrid organizational forms emerge in settings in
which transaction costs are sufficiently high to make market transactions too costly, but not
high enough to justify vertical integration. The resource-based view of the firm offers a
different explanation for the formation of hybrid organizational forms, namely, as a source of
sustainable competitive advantage. Both theories suggest motivations and goals of alliances,
the governance structures that correlate with these motives, and factors that affect the
performance of these organizational forms. Empirical (p.66) evidence supports many of
these theoretical propositions. Yet we know very little about the policies and procedures
that support performance attainment in the day to day life of the alliance, including
management accounting practices aimed at helping firms manage performance of this
extended enterprise.
The multi-faceted nature of alliance formation and alliance management and control creates
new demands for management accounting. Performance measurement and control across
organizational boundaries represent the adaptation of old management accounting
techniques to this new setting of firm networks. New management practices of relationship
management are evolving, facilitated by management accounting information to meet
demands for interorganizational trust building, learning, and rich communication among
partner firms. After reviewing the extant research related to strategic alliance formation and
performance, we suggest a new agenda for management accounting research in the
extended enterprise, an agenda linked to what has traditionally been termed management
accounting research but that also challenges these boundaries. We consider three key
challenges of managing a strategic network, taking as given a particular hybrid governance
structure; specifically, managing alliance control (including risk and trust among partners),
managing alliance performance evaluation, and managing the evolution of the alliance. In each
case we offer evidence from the practitioner literature that strategic alliances are meeting
demands for management accounting information in both traditional and novel ways,
supporting our intuition that the new hybrid forms are sufficiently different from markets or
hierarchies to demand different modes of management accounting.
Within a particular hybrid organizational form, the first significant challenge is management
