本研究的目的在探討兩家企業之間的「資源相似度」對其聯盟之型態的影響，以一九九五年一月至二OO四年十二月十年之間華爾街日報所刊載的策略聯盟事件為樣本，並透過羅吉斯迴歸與階層迴歸方法進行實證研究。

實證結果顯示：
1.資源相似度高時，兩家企業所貢獻的資源會傾向一致；而雙方資源的差異愈大時，雙方貢獻的資源傾向不一致，但是結果並不顯著。
2.當聯盟涉及股權時，對資源相似性和聯盟型態的關係有正面強化的效果，亦即當聯盟涉及股權時，資源相似度高的企業之間所貢獻的資源會更趨於一致，更容易形成規模聯盟。
3.當聯盟雙方的國籍相同時，對資源相似性和聯盟型態之間的關係有正面強化的效果，亦即當聯盟涉及股權時，資源相似度高的企業之間所貢獻的資源會更趨於一致，更容易形成規模聯盟，但其影響並不顯著。
4.當聯盟雙方的產業相關時，會減弱資源相似性和聯盟型態之間的關係，但其影響並不顯著。

　　This thesis investigates the relationship between 「the degree of resource similarity between two firms」and their「alliance structure」. The sample covers the strategic alliances disclosed on Wall Street Journal during a ten-year period from January 1995 to December 2004. Logistic regression and hierarchical regression were used to test the hypotheses.

The results are summarized as follows:
1. Partner firms tend to contribute the same kind of resources to the strategic alliances when their original firm resources are similar, and tend to contribute different kind of resources when their resource similarity is low. Despite that the relationship is in the same direction as predicted, it is not statistically significant.
2. The relationship between「degree of resource similarity between two firms」and the「alliance structure」is strengthened when the alliance involves equity.
3. The relationship between「degree of resource similarity between two firms」and the「alliance structure」is strengthened when partner firms come from the same country. However, this moderating role of partner nationality is not statistically significant.
4. The relationship between「degree of resource similarity between two firms」and the「alliance structure」is weakened when partner firms come from related industries. However, this moderating role of industry relatedness is not statistically significant.
