Abstract
The resource dependence perspective is used to describe the formation of hospital alliances. Characteristics of alliances and their various strategies and structures are discussed. A life cycle model provides a framework for viewing the development and growth of alliances. Several dimensions for assessing alliance performance are proposed.
