How the Alliance Revolution will Transform Global Business.
This book takes us beyond the multinational corporation, and even beyond the strategic alliance, to define and interpret the shape of global competition to come - the Relationship Enterprise. Drawing on the research and experience of Booz-Allen & Hamilton, Cyrus Friedheim shows how traditional modes of international expansion are flawed and why the emergence of giant enterprises - as networks of independent corporations - is inevitable as the forces of commercial globalisation and political sovereignty collide. With a rich variety of industry examples, the book outlines the new roles and responsibilities of leaders in the business world.
