A joint venture (JV) is a business agreement where parties invest equally in a project, sharing revenues, expenses, and assets, requiring good communication and clear goals for success. A strategic alliance is a collaboration between independent organizations aiming to achieve mutual benefits without creating a new legal entity, critical for growth, speed to market, and accessing global markets. Both models involve structured processes for setting strategies, selecting partners, managing relationships, and evaluating results throughout their life cycles.

18. TYPESOFSTRATEGIC ALLIANCES-

19. STRATEGIC ALLIANCES TODAY-
Strategic alliances are critical to organizations for a number of
key reasons:
1. Organic growth alone is insufficient for meeting most
organizations’ required rate of growth.
2. Speed to market is of the essence, and partnerships
greatly reduce speed to market.
3. Complexity is increasing, and no one organization has the
required total expertise to best serve the customer.
4.Partnerships can defray rising research and development
costs.
5. Alliances facilitate access to global markets.

23. THE STRATEGIC ALLIANCE
PROCESS
The Strategic Alliance Process involves planning,
implementation and evaluation. An alliance has a five-stage
“life cycle,” and a structured methodology is applied to
preparation and negotiations at each stage.

24.  Setting alliance strategy-
1.Creating a successful alliance is to develop a well-
thought-out alliance strategy.
2.An alliance strategy emerges out of business strategy.
Once a business does decide that a partnership is
desirable, it must develop an alliance strategy.
3.Strategy includes the needs to address the vision for
the partnership, market analysis and a competitive
assessment.
4.Also required is an honest self-assessment to know
organizational strengths and weaknesses, as well as the
organizational culture.

25.  Selecting a partner-
This is based on the criteria identified in the strategy
session.
1.Once the partner is selected, the key is to determine if
both organizations are strategically aligned and culturally
compatible.
2.It also becomes clear whether all parties have similar
ambitions .
3.Identify any strategic gaps and previously unanticipated
opportunities.
4.Thought needs to be given to the structures for
management and the board.

26. Structuring the alliance-
1.It is during this stage that the deal is financially and
legally structured and negotiated.
2.A negotiating strategy is critical and must begin at the
alliance-strategy stage.
3.Negotiations begins the first time you meet the partner.
4.Every alliance agreement should include an exit
strategy. This does not imply a pessimistic view of the
relationship, but rather recognizes that all alliances have
a natural life.
5.The average lifespan of an alliance is seven years.

27. Managing the alliance-
“Oncetheinkis dry, thehardworkbegins.”
1.Making the relationship work on an ongoing basis is a
challenge.
2.In a well-structured alliance, a full launch strategy
needs to have been jointly developed before the deal is
announced.
3.Specific action plans, and the resources assigned to the
alliance, must be known.
4.A conflict-management process and periodic checks is
critical to ensure smooth alignment of the alliance.

28. Re-evaluating the alliance-
Measuring the results of an alliance is critical. Its
important to determine if the alliance is achieving its
objectives.
Where possible, deep relationships are always more
desirable.
For example, by reconfiguring and reinventing their
relationship, Fuji and Xerox have remained partners for
close to 40 years, well above the seven-year average.
It is necessary to evaluate and further develop the
alliance at each stage of the life cycle..
