What is the book about?
This book was published in 2014 and the term “ecosystem” in relation to channel and partnering models was not as pervasive a term as it is today. In today’s globalized world cooperation and collaboration are critical drivers of business success. This book combines excellent academic research with real world company case studies across many different industry verticals to offer a “practitioners guide” to making Alliances in the real world work. It outlines several different alliances models that firms can adopt.
