| For emerging and high-technology businesses, strategic alliances are crucial tools for adapting to an ever-changing marketplace and succeeding in it. |
| Strategic alliances can enable companies to seize specific business opportunities quickly and cost-effectively. Companies desiring to offer new technologies or services can forge strategic alliances with companies already possessing them and avoid staggering development costs, satisfy customers more quickly, and increase their market presence. |
| Strategic alliances are configured in numerous ways - license agreements, joint ventures and partnerships, to name a few. Strategic alliances can be made with or against competitors, although inter-competitor alliances require special safeguards to protect intellectual property and trade secrets. |
