Independent organizations collaborate to increase the competitive advantage of each organization. This paper develops a conceptual framework for defining and classifying co-operative interorganizational relationships. The features and differences between alternative co-operative interorganizational relationships are highlighted by the framework. One form of co-operative interorganizational relationship, a strategic alliance, is a means for organizations to gain competitive advantage in a product/market when environmental turbulence and diversity are high and the organizations skill and resource gaps are high. The subsequent discussion examines strategic alliances. The external and internal influences on alliance formation and the dimensions of the relationship that may impact alliance effectiveness are considered. Several propositions concerning effectiveness are formulated. The external and internal influences of alliance formation include internal structure and relationships, technology, and organizati...

Business schools are frequently criticized for focusing too much attention on theories and concepts and not enough attention on communication, decision making, and other skills that are at least as important to career success as content knowledge.

The process is general and appropriate for other faculty groups considering systematic integration of skills training into their curricula.

Journal of Personal Selling and Sales Management | 2013

AbstractTelemarketing (TM), National Account Management (NAM), and other new selling techniques are increasingly being adopted by industrial marketers to replace or augment face-to-face sales forces. Adoption of any of these techniques requires the firm to adjust its selling mix, which is the combination of personal selling techniques used by the firm to reach its customers. Adoption of new selling mixes offers substantial payoffs, but involves risks and problems. This article proposes an analytical framework, based on the experiences of 40 business-to-business marketers, to guide managers in successfully adopting a new selling mix. The utility of this framework is demonstrated by applying it to two firms. From this analysis, management guidelines are developed for adopting new selling mixes.

Previous efforts in analyzing productivity in academic journals in marketing have failed to consider collaboration and diversity of authors within journals. We study authorship patterns in five major marketing journals from 1984 through 1993. The analysis focuses not only on productivity, but also on collaboration and diversity. The findings provide valuable insights for productivity comparisons, publication among different ranks, career planning, and journal trends.
