Abstract

The study is an exploratory study to investigate interactions between the strategic alliances of community colleges and community development associations on development of local culture industry. Their strategic alliances are identified through the methods such as fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fs/qca) and social network analysis, etc. According to the resource dependency theory, it was discovered that community colleges and community development associations are influenced by tripartite resources such as community empowerment, lifelong learning, and social citizens in terms of the importance of resources, and of these three, lifelong learning accounts for a majority. In terms of resource ownership control, community colleges can provide community development associations with administrative support and assistance. In terms of degree of resource substitution, community colleges and community development associations are influenced by factors such as principal attitudes, environmental change, appearance of alternative institutions, etc.
