Ideas
Matrix experience and complex alliances. Matrix firms are more likely to enter complex alliances, but the stock market discounts matrix firms in multifunctional alliances. Caveat: Market reaction is an indirect measure of value.

Caveat: A narrative review written for the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, with no stated search method.
