Cooperative strategy | Strategic Development and Implementation

 For the first section of your post, review the textbook  discussion of alternative rationales for cooperative strategy on the  business level. The text suggests that the most effective approaches for  creating a sustainable, competitive advantage are complementary  strategic alliances. Your first section should justify whether you agree  that complementary strategic alliances are the best approach. Be sure  to refer to the basic requirements for sustainable competitive advantage  that are found in a business-level strategy. Utilize research, rationale, and appropriate examples in your response.

For the second section of your post, review the textbook discussion of the rationale for cooperative strategy on the corporate level. Select one of  the three types of corporate-level cooperative strategy alternatives  discussed in the text. Using the rationale of business strategy, explain  how it can enable a firm to achieve a corporate strategy goal. In  selecting and defending your choice, be sure to explain the particular  advantages that a cooperative strategy brings. The best class discussion  will occur if students do not all select the same corporate-level  cooperative strategy alternative to defend.

The final section or paragraph (three or four sentences) of  your initial post should summarize the one or two key points that you  are making in your initial response.

Your posting should be the equivalent of 1.5 to 2 single-spaced pages (750–1000 words) in length.
