Abstract
Alliances, partnerships, acquisitions, mergers, and joint ventures are no longer exceptions in most businesses—they are part of the core strategy. As companies look to external partners to acquire strategic resources and capabilities, they need a practical road map to ensure these relationships generate value. What combinations of resources do we need? How do we manage them over time? What profits will we earn? Will they justify our investments?
In this HBR webinar, Benjamin Gomes-Casseres of Brandeis International Business School shares insights from decades of consulting and academic research on how companies create new value by “remixing” resources with those of other companies. Organizing this webinar around three laws, he explains how companies can gain the most from their business combinations.
