You know you've been studying business too much when you're making a diagram for Alliance Formations and you think to yourself "Huh. Like a human relationship. Date them or just sleep with them?" See below.
Stage 1: To cooperate or not to cooperate. (i.e. Do you like them in any way shape or form, or do you not?)
-Market Transactions
-Mergers and Acquisitions
-Pursue cooperative inter-firm relationship? (If yes, proceed to stage 2.)
Stage 2: Contract or Equity? (How serious of a relationship do you want? Where do you want it to go? Long-term or short term? Real or just on the surface? Date or sleep together?)
Contract:
Co-Marketing
R&D Contracts
Turnkey projects
Strategical supplier/distributers
Licensing/Franchising
Equity:
Strategic Investment
Cross-shareholding
Joint venture
Stage 3: Specifying which type of relationship you want. I.E. Specify which type of relationship you want.
I may or may not be crazy.
