About the Book

Strategic alliances offer organisations an alternative to organic growth or acquisition when faced with the need to develop the business to a new level, innovate in terms of products or services or significantly reduce costs. The Strategic Alliance Handbook is a clear and complete guide to the nuts and bolts of the process behind successful collaborations. The book enables readers to understand the commercial, technical, strategic, cultural and operational logic behind any alliance and to establish an approach that is appropriate for the type of alliance they are seeking and the partner organisation(s) with whom they are working. Whether you are an alliance executive, responsible for the systems, strategy and performance of your organisation's alliancing programme or an alliance manager needing to ensure the success of a given partnership, The Strategic Alliance Handbook is an essential guide.

Review :
’The methodology that the author describes in this book matches exactly the processes that an experienced alliance manager would recognise as best practice. By identifying this with his 52 common success factors, the author has described a template that can be used by any alliance manager to build a successful alliance and to diagnose where there are weaknesses in the relationship.’ Jim Whitehurst, Alliance VP, SAP and former UK President of Association of Strategic Alliance Professionals ’At last, the one book which accelerates an Alliance program between companies using a common methodology. Creates an aurora between Alliance partners where each has the desire to work together delivering exceptional joint propositions.
