Kellogg's Center for Research on Strategic Alliances, directed by Professor Ed Zajac, is a new teaching and research center that began in 2002. The center is the only academic research center in the United States focused solely on the impact of strategic alliances in both business and academia.

Our Mission

Increasingly, organizations in virtually all sectors of the economy are using cooperative relationships with other organizations as an essential tool for achieving their strategic objectives. However, successful strategic alliances are often difficult to achieve. This new research center, led by Ed Zajac, is devoted to furthering our understanding of how to better create and manage such strategic alliances. The center will achieve this objective by promoting and supporting cutting-edge research, organizing seminars and workshops for academic and executive audiences, and establishing an ongoing relationship with thought leaders in this area.
