Alliances & Joint Ventures: Fit, Focus, and Follow-Through.

At a time in the global marketplace when business alliances are a popular engine for growth, executives are faced with a challenge: whether or not to invest in sharpening their alliance management capabilities.

Whether these collaborations are the more rigid and longer-term joint ventures or the often shorter-term and less rigid strategic alliances, they can be an effective and powerful tool to leverage stronger or complementary capabilities with other organizations.

“Alliances and Joint Ventures: Fit, Focus, and Follow-Through,” a white paper from KPMG’s Transactions Services Practice, is focused on the factors that matter for success. The paper presents a current, research-backed view to stimulate dialogue about when and how to use the alliance option. The paper also includes an interview with Don McClellan, corporate vice president and director of business development for Motorola Inc.
