description In a globalising economy the number of cross-cultural strategic alliances is increasing and the large number of enterprises is entering China by using the form of strategic alliances. However, the failure rate of strategic alliance is high because process and outcome discrepancies emerge as collaboration unfolds.

Secondly, I show the relevance of theory in terms of cross-cultural strategic alliances and cultural influence on its evolutional path analysing In-depth interview were conducted to analyze this research question. Lastly, this dissertation concludes by explaining the national cultural influence on Japan-China strategic alliances based on Hofstede’s cultural dimension, value orientation and Kumar and Nti’s alliance framework.
