Las alianzas estratégicas desempeñan un papel clave en el ámbito empresarial. Este artículo analiza, desde una perspectiva checoslovaca y a partir de fuentes inéditas, las relaciones que durante el periodo de entreguerras mantuvieron dos importantes empresas europeas de fabricación de armamento: la fábrica Škoda de Checoslovaquia y su accionista mayoritaria, la empresa francesa Schneider et Cie. La investigación muestra cómo se desarrollaron estas relaciones mutuas a través del ejemplo de las exportaciones de material de artillería bajo la llamada Convención de Artillería, que dividió los territorios de exportación entre ambas empresas y estuvo vigente durante gran parte del período analizado. Aunque las relaciones iniciales entre las compañías estuvieron marcadas por el vínculo de propiedad, con el tiempo se estabilizaron, y estas relaciones pueden considerarse un ejemplo de una exitosa colaboración entre ambas. La implicación de Schneider en Škoda resultó beneficiosa tanto para la empresa como para Checoslovaquia, ya que contribuyó a que Škoda lograra una posición sólida en el comercio internacional de armamento.
