Book Synopsis Strategic Alliances by : Steve Steinhilber
Download or read book Strategic Alliances written by Steve Steinhilber and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a top executive, you've almost certainly forged strategic alliances with other companies. Some of these deals have worked--but many others have likely failed. In fact, companies worldwide launch more than two thousand strategic alliances every year, and more than half never deliver as promised. In Strategic Alliances, Steve Steinhilber proves that, despite the odds, alliances are critical to the business strategy for companies competing globally: customers want integrated solutions to their problems, and that's pushing companies to work together to create differentiated offerings. Equally crucial, well-managed alliances generate important forms of business value, including new products and accelerated growth. Drawing on his experience as the head of Cisco's Strategic Alliances group, Steinhilber has created tools and guidelines that will help you forge alliances that work. He describes the three essential building blocks of successful alliances and explains how to establish: The right framework--by articulating how an alliance will help you achieve your company's strategic business goals and identifying potential partners The right organization--by staffing your alliance organization with the right people and constantly honing their skills The right relationships--by cultivating trust among the many key internal contacts in your organization and your alliance partners Engaging and authoritative, Strategic Alliances shows you how to manage strategic partnerships more effectively and maximize their value in a complex and changing business environment. From our new Memo to the CEO series--solutions-focused advice from today's leading practitioners.

Book Synopsis Strategic Alliances: A guideline for Identification, Evaluation, Negotiation and Implementation by : Daniel Klein
Download or read book Strategic Alliances: A guideline for Identification, Evaluation, Negotiation and Implementation written by Daniel Klein and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2001 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1, AKAD University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this thesis is to give a review about the broad topic of Strategic Alliances namely in a way understandable to non-management experts. After reading this thesis the reader should be able to answer questions such as • what are Strategic Alliances, • should a company operate through Strategic Alliances or should other strategies be considered, • what types of Strategic Alliances do exist, • how to identify the strategic and operational fit, • what impact company culture can have on an alliance, • evaluate and assess capabilities, • how to negotiate and select partners, • what impact country culture can have on alliances, • how to implement and make the alliance work. Deliberately, this thesis is kept very general, and the relevance to the construction industry is outlined at the end of the parts 1, 2 and 9 respectively. Furthermore the objective is to be practice-oriented rather than to wander in theoretical realms. Just like an estimate this thesis covers the major items and detailed samples are only provided in special cases to underline some very important coherences and to make the ‘theory’ more understandable. Samples and further information can be found in the respective appendices. Hence, the purpose of this thesis is not an enumeration of Strategic Alliance samples, as every Strategic Alliance highly depends on particular circumstances. However, the samples and further information covered by the appendices will facilitate the general understanding of some issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “golden” age of purchasing, in which it was relatively easy to achieve annual cost reductions of between one and three percent, has come to an end. The major reasons for this are the consolidation in many supplier markets, rising energy costs, and growing resource consumption in many emerging markets such as China. To support companies that need to master the challenges in purchasing and achieve significant value propositions, the authors have developed the Purchasing ChessboardTM. The Purchasing ChessboardTM provides a suitable purchasing strategy for every constellation of buying power and selling power.

This book was released on 2014-12-19 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achieving successful financial viability by broadening revenue sources is one of the most important issues facing colleges and universities today. Increasing operating costs, along with the reliance on traditional student tuition, government support, and philanthropy, are challenging universities. One way administration leaders and faculty are meeting this challenge is to establish supplemental revenue streams from a variety other sources such as: continuing education, credit and noncredit certificates, degree completion and upgrade programs, study abroad, domestic and international branch campuses, distance education, auxiliary services, technology transfer, and partnerships or alliances with other organizations. These types of activities, formerly considered secondary ventures, are now integral to lasting and responsible financial strategic planning. This monograph examines a wide variety of supplemental income options and opportunities, as well as examples of restructuring financial planning schema. While not negating the value of traditional college education, these new revenue sources in fact lead to greater institutional effectiveness. This is the 1st issue of the 41th volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education issue, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.
