From the supplier: Companies of all sizes and in every part of the world are being compelled to develop strategic alliances by such forces of the globalization of the economy, the emergence of the information society, the rise of an empowered consumer base and changes in supply-chain dynamics. Statistics indicate that US companies are partnering with European, Asian and Latin American firms at a rate that grows by 25% annually, and that alliances generate about 15% of the total revenues of the top 1,000 US companies. United Parcel Service is a firm believer in alliances and seeks partners that have the similar visions and complementary strengths. Its experiences with business partnerships have taught it the importance of diligent planning, defining the goals of each partner and adopting a mutual system of measurement and accountability, planning for the end of the alliance, learning from the alliance partner, and learning how to negotiate and create an alliance.
