Strategic Alliances takes a wide view of the process of forming alliances and focuses on the negotiation and evolution of the alliance. It will give you the tools needed to overcome many of the obstacles inherent in new-market expansion or new-product development, and you will learn how to establish a global strategic position with limited time and resources. The program is complementary to Mergers & Acquisitions, which focuses more on valuation and legal issues.
In addition to gaining a broader perspective, you will learn to use new techniques for designing and implementing alliances. Many of the cases and examples discussed are drawn from an international perspective, and a global view is integrated throughout the course. You will learn to improve your alliance process from start to finish by gaining a framework in which to analyze the strategic, organizational, and cultural fit among partners. Also discussed are conflicts and the evolution of alliances, as well as managing networks of alliances.
