Abstract | Cooperative strategies are becoming increasingly relevant in coping with an increasingly dynamic and complex business environment. A concentration upon core competencies is made easier when businesses are able to cooperate with other specialist businesses with different core competencies. Cooperative strategies range from formal alliances reinforced by contracts through to informal networks based upon relationships cemented by trust. Some examples of the motivators of networks include working together to win or carry out a project, or learning. However, unless the network delivers mutual benefit, it is unlikely that the trust and relationships necessary to cement the network will eventuate. Interaction based upon mutual benefit is normally expected to result in strengthened relationships and trust, provided the experience was positive for all concerned. |
