Abstract

Interimistic relational exchange is defined as a close, collaborative, fast-developing, short-lived exchange relationship in which companies pool their skills and/or resources to address a transient, albeit important, business opportunity and/or threat (Lambe et al.2000, p. 212).This discussion concentrates on cross-sectoral collaboration, but we incorporate the literature on strategic alliances where it is relevant (see Table1).
