Why you should read Non-Cooperation
Wilma W. Suen spent five years researching why half of all corporate alliances fail, and she shares her valuable insights in this book. While she hasn’t come up with a formula you can apply to determine whether to form or break an alliance, she does provide principles to keep in mind as you try to understand your alliance and its member companies. She provides real-world examples to illustrate her points. If you are considering an alliance, doing business with one or are already involved in one, getAbstract recommends this inside look.
About the author
