Abstract
This article presents the results of bibliographical research with a view to identifying the principal factors that should be considered by firms when choosing the most appropriate governance form for a new strategic alliance. It contributes to the body of knowledge regarding factors that influence the choice of governance form in strategic alliances, by seeking to incorporate concepts and proposals available in the internationalization and corporate governance literature to the alliance governance field. It thus also intends to provide guidance on recommended governance forms and practices for executives of firms that operate in strategic alliances at domestic and international levels.
