Strategic Alliances can be used to suppress costs or increase
sales/profits.
For some years, my companies shared a computer system, copying system, space, a receptionist, etc. with other companies, and we both had what we could not afford separately, and we were both better off as a result. Barter, used carefully, can give you and others access to goods, services, expertise or opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.
Strategic Alliances for profit are even more interesting. MCI/Amway has been an interesting example: MCI gave Amway entre into "services" in addition to hard products, with zero start-up costs or capital investments, at a time when Amway was losing distributors to new MLM companies focused on services; MCI gained massive distribution instantly.
A few smart questions:
標ho has distribution I could use?
標ho has products I could distribute?
標ho has contacts I could profit from?
標ho could profit from my contacts?
標ho has resources I could use without duplicating?
標ho could use resources I have?
