Creating and Managing Strategic Alliances
Grow your business more quickly and with lower cost and risk through the use of strategic alliances. In a world of resource constraints and intense battles for customers, firms are increasingly employing a variety of cooperative relationships to achieve their strategic objectives domestically and internationally. However, designing and maneuvering through alliances are very challenging activities. In this program, highlighted by a collaborative learning environment, you will be inspired with knowledge on how to create and manage different forms of strategic alliances, such as joint ventures, licensing agreements, buyer-supplier partnerships, and consortia. You will also develop a better sense of the costs and benefits of strategic alliances and learn the specific conditions under which alliances are preferred to internal development, mergers and acquisitions, or outsourcing.
