This is a report on an empirical investigation of the determinants of change in strategic alliances in technological innovation. Changes in strategic alliances are categorized either as redefinitions of original purpose (either in area of application or in scope) or dissolution. Based on a study of 558 strategic alliances in the biotechnology field formed between the inception of the field and December 1988, we find that the alliance's original purpose influences the likelihood of its change in state through redefinition or dissolution.
