section Summary
 
 
Today organizations operate in a global environment that is characterized by changing economies of scale, technological superiority and instability. Thus it is very difficult for the companies to survive on their own and fulfil their global ambitions. Thus companies are increasingly turning to strategic alliances to compete and survive in the global market. (Achrol, 1991).

Both in profit and non-profit organizations strategic alliances seem to be the order of the day. Strategic alliance is one of the common strategies used by organizations to increase market shares, reduce costs or create synergy. They provide access to competence and a local intelligence base without carrying a burden of starting up a subsidiary from zero.(Cartwright and Cooper, 1996)
