You're in for a fascinating dive. Start with the seminal works by scholars like Walter Powell and Ranjay Gulati on alliance networks. Their research on how inter-organizational networks drive knowledge flow, innovation, and competitive advantage is the cornerstone of this field in strategic management. Building your proposal from this foundation will give you a strong, recognized theoretical base.
