The purpose of this study is to organize previous research on alliances between different sectors in a cross-disciplinary manner and construct a new analytical framework that can comprehensively and dynamically analyze CSV (creating shared value) alliance relationships. Through the literature review, it was found that there is a need to clarify the factors that sustain heterogeneous sector alliances over the long term. Additionally, there is a need to include local communities as a sector by focusing on the invisible aspects of alliances. Furthermore, the collaborative windows model (Kojima and Hiramoto, 2011; Goto, 2013) is a framework for the dynamic and comprehensive analysis of alliances between different sectors. However, the analysis is only a little mention of the sustaining stage and evaluation items, which are important for sustaining an alliance over the long term. Therefore, this study incorporates social factors such as policy trends, as well as the sustaining stage and evaluation items into this model and presents a conceptual diagram and analytical framework for the process of creating both economic and social value through alliances, i.e. achieving CSV. This study can be positioned to provide new insights into sustainability management research and alliance theory.
