Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper examines an alliance maturation process that organizations can use in employing strategic NPD networks. We developed our alliance maturation process model assuring its compatibility with current global new product development practices and environments. Strategic NPD Networking for new product development is not a discrete event but a process that involves several stages including awareness, exploration, commitment, and dissolution. We suggest that both the context and contents of these stages vary in highly competitive global environments. We review current literature on several cultural factors and their potential impact on the process of creating Strategic NPD Networks. In addition, we suggest testable propositions derived from our review of this literature. We conclude with suggestions for further inquiry regarding this increasingly important topic.
