Evolution of Alliance Management and Relationship Values

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Successful alliances that lead to increased sales are mutually beneficial for each partner company and are contingent on the selection of compatible partners. Companies that succeed in alliance and partnership efforts orient themselves towards alliance by first articulating the rationale behind the effort, and then choosing a partner using particular selective criteria.
