Collaborative Arrangements in Developing Successful Business Strategies: Literature Review

Abstract

Technology triggers business collaboration and partnership as well as becomes an essential part for disruptive business strategies. The literature on this topic is dispersed, and the chapter addresses this gap. This chapter aims to present a systematic literature review of academic studies in disruptive collaborative innovation frameworks and provide guidance for future research by identifying current research gaps. The study uses the PRISMA framework and collects literature from 2015 to 2023 from highly ranked academic venues with the final sample of 112 papers. The section is structured around the PRISMA framework, and results are reported accordingly. The analysis was conducted using a range of methods, including bibliometric analysis, multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), and text network analysis.

The analysis of the literature is presented to identify the main areas of research as well as to gauge the emerging streams. The overall results suggest that this area is starting to develop with limited research available to date. The study identified four theoretical foundations for existing research, aligned with behavioral, network, resource-based (RBV), and knowledge-based views (KBV). The identified theoretical views and themes are discussed, and examples of the studies are provided.
