"In science as in love, concentration on technique is quite likely to lead to impotence."

Peter Berger, Invitation to Sociology

Welcome to my website. I am intrigued by the way in which individuals, groups and organizations learn to cooperate. In particular, I am studying how firms develop alliance and acquisition capabilities as well as how routines of complex activities come into being.

On this website, I hope you find some interesting material to enrich your own personal or professional life.

Comments on the book 'Developing Alliance Capabilities':

"Heimeriks develops an insightful and well-grounded framework to think through a very important determinant of strategic alliance success. Showing the interplay between experience and management tools and processes sheds very useful light on the development of alliance management capabilities." Professor Yvez Doz, INSEAD.

"Heimeriks' book is a must read for managers, academics, and students alike. ... His insights are as compelling as they are relevant." Professor Frank Rothaermel, Georgia Tech.

"Heimeriks contributes significantly to both the theory and practice of effective alliance management." Professor John Child, University of Birmingham.
