Alliances and outsourcing are flavors of the month, says the
author of this succinct, tightly reasoned book, but how much is
known about how to make them succeed? Too many are initiated for
the wrong reasons, improperly thought out, and--as quick solutions
to difficult problems--they just don't work. Dr. Milgate does not
try to sell alliances and outsourcing as options, but instead asks,
why consider them at all? And what must you do to get the most out
of them, if you decide to proceed? He offers practical advice and
illustrates it with real-world case study examples. The result is a
lucid, readable advisory for corporate decision makers and a useful
classroom aid for their academic colleagues.
Never have pressures on corporations to trim down in size been
so great. But Dr. Milgate's research shows that corporations'
efforts to make themselves lean, to focus on core competencies, and
to create mutually advantageous alliances with other corporations
have not paid off. The lean organization is clearly the paradigm
for business at the start of the new millennium, but how is it
achieved? Instead of pure theory, Dr. Milgate offers practical
advice and illustrates it with real-world case studies, chosen for
their ability to demonstrate best practices in lean organizations
and to provide answers to questions that, inevitably, arise
repeatedly. He agrees that corporations must focus on the basics
and leverage their core competencies up through a range of
alliances and outsourcings, toward the goal of creating a best of
everything organization. But too many alliances and outsourcing
strategies are initiated for the wrong reasons, improperly thought
out, and--as quick solutions to difficult problems--they just don't
work. Dr. Milgate tells us why and gives us strategic guidance on
the critical issues that corporate decision makers must address as
they strive to make their organizations as competitive as they must
be in order to compete in the new global economy. The result is a
succinct, lucid advisory for upper echelon executives and a
necessary classroom aid for their academic colleagues.
