ASAP's Best Practices Guidebook on Alliance Formation and Management

To determine best practices for successful alliances, experts in the strategic alliance field were interviewed by a team of researchers from The Warren Company on behalf of AT&T. Face-to-face and telephone interviews were conducted with executives from telecommunications, electronics, aerospace, energy, and pharmaceutical companies. The executives were primarily business development, strategic planning, or strategic relations specialists at either the corporate or business unit level. Collectively, their experience represented the formation of several hundred alliances.
