Download Options in Alliances by Francesco Baldi - mirror 1 ---> http://po.st/DWD722 mirror 2 ---> http://tinyurl.com/lcrq3sy mirror 3 --> http://q.gs/9283027/options-in-alliances ---------------
Synopsis: The real options-based conceptual framework for alliance-making presented here responds to the challenge of developing a new metrics for managing strategic partnerships in the face of uncertainty. Such a framework involves: mapping (and selecting one of) the various staged paths envisioned for the start-up and development of the alliance in terms of strategic options exercisable over the lifetime of the cooperative venture; assessing the incremental, synergistic value of those options (if exercised on the net, tangible and intangible, assets of the venture); anticipating the potential impact of risks on the success/failure of the venture and associated synergistic value erosion; defining the optimal option map for implementing the strategic alliance via potential, successive adjustments to the initial strategy (information loop is closed).
