Abstract
The phenomenon of alliances between and among corporations has, since the end of the 1960’s, seen tremendous development worldwide, largely in conjunction with economic globalization1. This phenomenon which has been sustained both in terms of duration and scope, is at the same time a reflection and a cause of reality’s growing complexity (allowing for the fact that this reality must be “constructed”2); it also leads us to modify our thought processes and actions. From well-defined companies with significant decision-making autonomy, we are moving toward forms of organization which are interconnected, imprecise, and to a market economy combining competition and cooperation: toward a “new” capitalism3 or an “alliance capitalism”4.
