This paper investigates the relationship between intercorporate technology alliances and firm performance. It argues that alliances are access relationships, and therefore that the advantages which a local firm derives from a portfolio of strategic coalitions depend upon the resource profiles of its alliance partners. In particular, large firms and those that possess leading - edge technological resources are posited to be the most valuable associates. The paper also argues that alliances are both pathways for the exchange of resources and signal's that convey social status and recognition. Particularly when one of the firms in an alliance is a young or small organization, or more generally an organization of equivocal quality, alliances can act as endorsements : they build pulic confidence in the value of an organization's products and services thereby facilitate the firm's efforts to attract customers and other corporate partners. The findings from models of sales growth and innovation rates in a large sample of semiconductor producers confirm that organizations with large and innovation rates in a large sample of semiconductor producers confirm that organizations with large and innovative alliance partners perform better than otherwise comparable firms that lack such partners. Consistent with the status -transfer arguments, the findings also demonstrate that young and small firms benefit more from large and innovative strategic alliance partners than do old and large organizations.
