  • STRATEGIC RATIONALE Should a Firm Build a Strategic Alliance?
    01-Schaan.qxd 8/14/2006 6:03 PM Page 1 1 STRATEGIC RATIONALE Should a Firm Build a Strategic Alliance? In Brief Today’s business environment has changed. Amid rapid and dramatic change heavily driven by globalization, increased business complexity, diversified customer needs—and simply speed—companies need to respond and adapt accordingly if they are going to survive and grow. Alliances serve as an important business strategy to respond to the business environ- ment, and they increasingly define the structure of entire industries, as is the case in the multimedia, telecommunications, automobile, and biotechnology industries. And they work. Companies that successfully embrace alliance strategies consistently perform better than those that do not. These companies benefit from alliances in a variety of ways, including sharing cost and risk, pooling their respective strengths, and leveraging complementarities. How much importance and stake is placed in forming an alliance should be directly proportionate to the degree to which the alliance supports a company’s overrid- ing business strategy. Simply stated, if it is going to be instrumental in achieving its long-term business objectives, the company managers will want to put into it suitable time and resource commitment to ensure its success. In contrast, if it is not as strategically important, prudence needs to be exercised in making a commitment. Deciding to commit is only part of the readiness question. It is essential to take a close look at the internal structure, policy, and culture of the organization to make sure the internal machinery is indeed setting the company up for success.

INSEAD 1 5108 On a bright mid-September morning in 2002, Rafael Bonnelly, Terra Lycos’ vice-president of content management, was examining the traffic and revenues from his company’s websites. The message was clear: visitors to his portal spent most of their time in ‘user generated’ sites, such as chat rooms, personal web hosting, email, etc, which, unfortunately, generated very little, if any, revenue per visitor. Although the ‘Terra generated’ content, such as news and music sites that Bonnelly’s global team spent its time and budget creating yielded higher revenues per visitor, it attracted less people, for less time, and for not enough revenues. The goal was clear: have Terra’s customers visit Terra generated sites more often while at the same time make them pay more for all sites and services.
