Bounded by a single agreement with equitable risk and opportunity share for all parties. Usually managed by a totally integrated project team. Kuglin and Hook (2002) define five basic categories or types of alliances:
In many cases, alliances between companies can involve two or more categories or types of alliances. A sales alliance occurs when two companies agree to go to market together to sell complementary products and services. A solution-specific alliance occurs when two companies agree to jointly develop and sell a specific marketplace solution. A geographic-specific alliance is developed when two companies agree to jointly market or co-brand their products and services in a specific geographic region. An investment alliance occurs when two companies agree to joint their funds for mutual investment. A joint venture alliance occurs when two or more companies agree to undertake economic activity together. (Kuglin and Hook, 2002) REFERENCES Kuglin, F.A., Hook J. 2002.
