Just as the rewards of strategic alliances are many, so are the options and their associated legal, financial and operational implications. In a world of constrained resources and intense competition, the challenge of developing strategically focused, cooperative relationships lies in designing and managing them to create value and knowing and mitigating the factors that can result in alliance failures.
In this highly collaborative program guided by senior Kellogg faculty, you’ll learn how to create and manage a variety of strategic alliances, both domestic and international, including joint ventures, licensing agreements, buyer-supplier partnerships and consortia. You’ll examine the specific conditions under which alliances are preferred to other growth strategies, develop a better sense of the related costs and benefits, and leave with practical tools you can apply immediately.
This program is offered in a live virtual format. Our live virtual programs are built to deliver a rich experience that’s comparable to our in-person programs. You will have the opportunity to engage with our faculty and your peers in live discussions and lecture sessions. You will come away with the tools to navigate and succeed in the new business landscape.
