Abstract

For higher education institutions (HEIs) to gain global recognitions, possible approaches for HEIs to achieve success and sustainability are global partnerships and strategic alliances. In this study, we aim to verify the determinants of HEIs strategic alliance within a dynamic business context. In line with social network theory, we focus on the significance of individuals' social networks as a major key factor in social aspect. In addition, we have also identified three intermediate factors which links networking to alliance survival, performance, and partnership evolution. Further, we combine all key factors of strategic alliance formations, mechanisms, and dynamics with propositions. The exploratory examination of HEI's globalization with distinct processes addresses a contemporary trend. We hope to enrich the strategic alliance dynamics of HEIs not only in Taiwan, but for other countries as well.
