Strategic Alliances and Marketing Partnerships: Gaining Competitive Advantage through Collaboration and Partnering
This book provides fascinating insights into how we are and are not managing our partners properly.
Reviewing the partnering types we immediately recognised many of our partners and how our management of them is inappropriate for their relationship with us. It has helped us take better decisions about what we need to invest (and divest) in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Building business relationships of substance 30 Aug 2011
By Graham Haines - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
It's not unusual to see a certificate on the wall in the reception area of an organisation pronouncing it to be "Supplier of the Year". But I've never seen one announcing "Customer of the Year" yet we all know that how we perform as suppliers is greatly influenced by the characteristics and actions of our customers. There are always a small number of suppliers who are critical to our success - and our success is critical to them. What's involved in building truly collaborative business relationships is what Gibbs and Humphries explore in this book. Based on a convincing blend of case studies and theory, the authors outline the symptoms and causes of relationship failure before focusing on those characteristics that are necessary for relationship success. They conclude their treatise by summarising eight partnership types that they have observed in their respective careers. For anyone wanting to turn a business relationship around or interested in learning what's required for a successful and productive partnership before taking the plunge, this book is essential reading.
