The first governing mechanism is Equity Strategic Alliance in which there is convenience obtained by every organization entering as well as exiting a target market (Li & Reuer, 2021). The present operations of an organization can be improved by using this type of strategic alliance. However, there has to be high level of investment made by an organization while entering into an Equity Strategic Alliance (Rothaermel, 2021). There can be absence of flexibility because of not always being successful in obtaining profits from such an alliance (Li & Reuer, 2021).
