Reviews / Votes

'Collaborative Strategy enables you to move past thinking about alliances based on hunches and move toward real empirical insight into the use, creation, and management of successful alliances. It is a comprehensive review of the current cutting-edge thinking about alliances, which are becoming such an increasingly pervasive part of both private and public industry. Whether you are contemplating a new equity joint venture, entry into a new market, or reassessing your current alliance portfolio you'll find this book full of useful insights into what it takes to succeed at the alliance game. One of the most comprehensive looks at alliances I've seen, delivered succinctly and organized to be easily navigated.' -- Russ Buchanan, Xerox Corporation 'Alliances and networks present a broad range of challenges as well as opportunities for executives. Academics have studied these relationships from various disciplinary perspectives while employing diverse research methodologies. This volume unpacks this breadth and complexity, and covers many of the cutting-edge research questions in the field. The contributors are the "Who's Who" of the top scholars in the field. The volume is particularly valuable to scholars as well as students who are new to the area, and seek concise and insightful summaries of the many different streams of research on alliances and networks.' -- Riitta Katila, Stanford University, US 'For managers forming or having formed partnerships with other institutions, this is a must read. Collaborative Strategy reveals what we are doing and why, and how we can do it better, in a seldom-achieved style that addresses the complexity of the academic debate whilst presenting key implications for practitioners.' -- Andreas Moosdorf, Pan-European Processes, Amazon 'Whether you are a businessperson looking for an edge, a manager in charge of corporate development, an academic or student interested in alliances, you will find much to stimulate your thinking in this book. The multiple vantage points on strategic alliances brought together in a readable, logical and yet not oversimplified style will offer readers ample inputs for creativity, problem solving and ultimately business differentiation via alliances and networks.' -- Fernando Chaddad, Accenture
