Biotechnology is a high technology industry being characterized with knowledge workers, long research and development (R&D) cycle, huge capital expenditure as well as high uncertainties. This research aims to derive the key success factors for such heterogeneous alliances. Possible factors will first be derived by literature review and confirmed by experts. Then, Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) will be introduced to structure the causal relationships between criteria. The DEMATEL base Network Process (DNP) will be used to derive the weights versus the criteria. The performance scores versus the strategies will be calculated accordingly by using the VIKOR. An empirical study based on major Taiwanese biotechnology firms’ evaluation and selection of the heterogeneous R&D alliance strategies will be used to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed analytic framework. The analytic framework and results can served as the basis for heterogeneous R&D alliance strategy definitions in the biotechnology industries in the future.
