Rather than engaging in an endless tug-of-war over the dwindling crumbs in a finite market, collaborative companies find ways to make the pie bigger, or create whole new pies, expanding everyones market and revenue. By collaborating, companies can tap into talent sources beyond their means, overcome organizational weaknesses cheaply by combining capabilities, eliminate waste and overhead by sharing resources, and better engage their markets by providing a more comprehensive and integrated array of products and services. The authors company, CaseStack, is a model of collaboration. Its a full-service logistics company that offers warehousing, transportation and an award-winning tech platform, without owning any actual warehouse buildings or trucks, and using cloud-based hardware. Many of its key business partners could easily be construed as competitors, and its most important service platforms have been developed with retailers who arent customers, vendors, or even partners, in a legal sense. Yet by sharing strengths, all have seen greater profits while cutting costs and improving service. This book shows how others can successfully pool resources and competencies, develop new innovative products and services, access new markets, and reduce costs through collaboration. It explores the tools that facilitate the collaborative process, particularly new online tools that have revolutionized the process, and the outsourcing boom. Case examples illustrate both large-scale (e.g. Disney and McDonalds partnering with Happy Meals) and small-scale collaborations that have succeeded in the real world. 542 |fCopyright © Tantor Media, Inc. 550 Made available through: Safari, an O'Reilly Media Company. 588 0 Online resource; Title from title page (viewed July 20, 2020). 590 O'Reilly|bO'Reilly Online Learning: Academic/Public Library Edition 650 0 Strategic alliances (Business) 650 0 Teams in the workplace. 650 0 Business networks. 650 0 Cooperativeness. 650 2 Cooperative Behavior 650 6 Alliances stratégiques (Affaires) 650 6 Équipes de travail. 650 6 Réseaux d'affaires. 650 6 Coopération (Psychologie) 650 7 Business networks|2fast 650 7 Cooperativeness|2fast 650 7 Strategic alliances (Business)|2fast 650 7 Teams in the workplace|2fast 655 4 Downloadable audio books. 655 7 Audiobooks|2fast 655 7 Audiobooks.|2lcgft 655 7 Livres audio.|2rvmgf 700 1 Troxell, Brian,|enarrator. 856 40 |uhttps://ezproxy.naperville-lib.org/login?url=https:// learning.oreilly.com/library/view/~/9781705262979/?ar |zAvailable on O’Reilly for Public Libraries 994 92|bJFN
