Corporate Partnering - Business Alliances

WHAT: Corporate partnering is fueling the growth of America's most successful companies - both large and small. The demand to deliver more new products, more quickly and at lower prices has never been greater. Joint ventures and other collaborative business arrangements are revolutionizing how winning companies compete.

WHO: Curt Sahakian, business strategist and lawyer, has worked on hundreds of corporate partnerings. He has written, Corporate Partnering, A How-To Handbook, to assist executives in making the right partnering choice and getting through the perilous yet delicate partnering process unscathed and with a bright future. Mr. Sahakian is a founder of the Corporate Partnering Institute, a U.S. think-tank dedicated to the study and use of partnering to generate competitive advantage. He has lectured on the subject of corporate partnering at DePaul University's Kellstadt Graduate School of Business and has been active in providing continuing legal education to the organized bar, including lecturing, writing and organizing seminars.

WHY: Joint Ventures and Strategic Alliances are ideal vehicles to permit companies to enter new markets they could not otherwise reach on their own. For large companies, alliances offer access to new products, innovation, and marketplace agility, as well as additional ways to bring new products to the market more quickly with less expense. For small companies, partnerships often provide capital, credibility, sales, marketing, product distribution, and manufacturing.

Corporate partnering involves two companies putting their complementary strengths together, the joining of two organizations possessing expertise and/or resources the other doesn't have but desperately needs to make a difference in the marketplace.
