通过对4家水环境治理小企业进行多案例研究，沿着“动机—行为—结果”的分析逻辑，构建价值整合机制形成的整体模型。从伙伴选择和合作机制两个方面分析联盟合作模式，识别了滩头堡型、管道型、浮板型和空降型4种合作模式，发现伙伴选择具有连续性特征，扩展了伙伴选择焦点的假设和适用范围。探究合作模式对联盟价值整合机制的影响，发现联盟价值整合机制分为共同价值创造、共同价值占有和双重价值获取三类，伙伴选择和合作机制共同影响联盟价值整合。联盟价值整合机制映射伙伴选择与合作机制之间的结构关系，这一关系在非对称情境下具有独特性。资源获取动机与伙伴选择优先性有关，企业为获取知识资源和信息资源时倾向于市场导向伙伴选择，为获取资金资源和人才资源时倾向于关系导向伙伴选择。

Greenization represents a prominent trend in ecological development,with green technology innovation serving as a critical avenue for sustainable progress in firms. In the industry of water environmental governance,firms face significant pressure to iterate their technological capabilities and align with market demands. Small firms,lacking access to substantial resources and capabilities,often rely on cooperation with larger firms to establish asymmetric technology alliances. However,such alliances can result in power differentials and status asymmetries,ultimately leading to contradictions in value creation and appropriation. Effective management of these contradictions through value integration has become a critical challenge for realizing coordinated development in the creation and appropriation of value. Because over 80% of water environment governance firms are small firms with limited access to resources controlled by larger firms,the ability to collaborate and derive expected benefits is key to their survival and growth.#br#Through a multiple-case study of four small water environment governance firms,this study examines the strategic selection of value integration mechanisms for asymmetric technology alliances. Drawing upon a comprehensive research framework based on resource dependence theory,resource-based theory,and resource orchestration theory,this study employs a universal analysis logic of "motivation-behavior-result" and constructs an overall model of the value integration mechanism for asymmetric technology alliances.#br#This study initially analyzes the cooperation modes of asymmetric technology alliances by examining small firm partner selection and cooperation mechanisms along two dimensions. Specifically,it identifies four distinct cooperation modes: beachhead,pipeline,plate,and parachute. The research findings suggest that partner selection exhibits the characteristics of continuity,which expands the hypothesis and scope of application regarding partner selection focus. According to the investigation of the impact of cooperation modes on the value integration mechanism of asymmetric technology alliances,the study reveals that the alliance value integration mechanism can be categorized into three types: common value creation,common value appropriation,and dual value appropriation. Furthermore,the selection of partners and the cooperation mechanism jointly influence the value integration of alliance. The study finds that small firms can achieve common value creation by prioritizing market-oriented partners and engaging in organizational learning;while relationship-oriented partner selection and relationship investment can lead to common value appropriation;adopting both market-oriented and relationship-oriented partner selection and engaging in both organizational learning and relationship investment can bring dual value appropriation. The relationship between partner selection and cooperation mechanisms is unique in asymmetric situations,and the alliance value integration mechanism is mapped based on this relationship. It is also revealed that small firms' selection priorities for partners are associated with different resource appropriation motives. Specifically,small firms tend to prioritize market-oriented partners to acquire knowledge and information resources. Conversely,they tend to choose relationship-oriented partners to obtain financial and human resources.#br#The primary theoretical contribution of this paper is the development of a theoretical model for the formation of value integration mechanisms in asymmetric technology alliances. This model has significant theoretical implications for small firms seeking to comprehend the inherent tensions between value creation and value appropriation,grasp the factors that shape value integration mechanisms in such alliances,and establish mechanisms for dual value appropriation that facilitate the coordinated development of value creation and appropriation. First of all,this study expands the theoretical explanation of resource dependence theory on the diversity of types of interaction between organizations and the external environment,responding to the call of organizational theory for hybrid organizational structure and practical exploration. Then,by building a comprehensive and diversified cooperation platform to enhance the enterprise's scalability,it helps to achieve a harmonious coexistence between creating competitive advantages and green technology innovation. Lastly,it has opened up the black box of the relationship between resources,capabilities,and value creation.#br#The practical implications for small firms are that it is essential to attach importance to acquiring information and human resources in the process of partner selection,and they should be adept at using relationship investment to solve the difficulties faced by organizational learning processes,improve the matching degree between partner selection and cooperation mechanisms,and achieve dual value appropriation in asymmetric technology alliances.#br#
