How inter-/intra-alliance rivalry influences global competitive landscape. How interplay of competitive/cooperative arrangements among firms invigorate intellectual/operational tasks. Designing/managing international strategy, organizational structure, and alliances. prereq: MBA or Mgmt Sci MBA studentt
Class Description:
Data show that in 2002, 35% of corporate revenues were estimated to come from alliance activity, compared to 2% in 1980. We have witnessed a surge in the number of strategic alliances as firms around the world respond to shortened product life cycles, technological change, globalization forces, and an ever-present need for new knowledge. Managing an alliance, however, is a complex task. There are at least two partners in these cooperative arrangements, all with different agendas, which in itself is a source of potential conflict. This course is designed to uncover the complexity of strategic alliances in regard to their form as well as to their management processes -- from creation to evolution to management to termination.
