 STRATEGIC ALLIANCES

A strategic alliance is a business arrangement in which two or more firms cooperate for their mutual benefit. Firms may combine their efforts for a variety of purposes including, but not limited to, sharing knowledge, expertise, and expenses as well as to gain entry to new markets or to gain a competitive advantage in one. Further, creation of a strategic alliance may turn actual or potential competitors into partners working toward a common goal. Use of strategic alliances has become a major tool for businesses that are internationalizing their operations. Therefore, use of strategic alliances has expanded dramatically over the past decade, and their use will continue to increase as we enter the 21st century.

This article provides an introduction to strategic alliances. First, characteristics of a strategic alliance are examined and examples are given. Second, the benefits of strategic alliances are discussed, and, third, choices involved in formation of a strategic alliance are explored. Finally, the special considerations for international strategic alliances are discussed.

ELVIS PRESLEY

 Popular singer and film actor, born in Tupelo, Mississippi, USA. An only child (a twin brother was stillborn), he was raised in a religious home. As a boy he sang with his local Assembly of God church choir, which emulated the style of African-American psalm singing. At age 10 he won a school singing contest and taught himself the rudiments of the guitar (though he never really could read music). In 1948 he moved with his family to Memphis, TN, where he graduated from high school (1953) and began working as a truck driver and studying at night classes to be an electrician. Later that year he made a private recording for his mother at the Memphis Sound Studio, where he attracted the attention of proprietor Sam Phillips (1923-2003), who also operated Sun Records, a fledgling blues label. In July 1954 Phillips had Presley record his first singles, 'That's All Right, Mama' and 'Blue Moon of Kentucky', a synthesis of rhythm-and-blues and country-and-western that was for a time described as 'rockabilly'. The record made an immediate impression on local listeners, who were bewildered to learn that Presley was white, but their enthusiasm for his style of dress, bodily movements, and music signalled the beginnings of rock 'n' roll.

 Marine Mammal Program

The development, training, veterinary care, and research facility that supports today's Navy Marine Mammal Program is centered in the Biosciences Division of the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific) located in San Diego, California. However, the Navy's work with marine mammals has been going on for many years. It got its start in the late 1950s when the Navy began to study the unique attributes of marine mammals such as the hydrodynamics of the dolphin. By understanding how dolphins move in the water, perhaps the Navy could improve torpedo, ship, and submarine designs. Soon the Navy realized that dolphins would be valuable assistants to Navy divers working in the open ocean. Unlike human divers, dolphins are capable of making repeated deep dives without experiencing the bends or decompression sickness. They also found that dolphins and sea lions are highly reliable, adaptable, and trainable marine animals that could be conditioned to search for, detect, and mark the location of objects in the water.

In the early days of the program, various marine mammal species were considered including: killer whales, pilot whales, belugas (white whales), Steller sea lions, grey seals, and fur seals. Other animals were used in various studies pertaining to locating personnel from downed aircraft and creating effective shark deterrents to protect them until they could be rescued. As the animals were assessed for their capabilities, much about their basic biology was learned.

Today, bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions perform a number of important functions such as protecting ports and Navy assets from swimmer attack, locating and attaching recovery hardware to expensive exercise and training targets, and locating potentially dangerous sea mines.

Born: Feb. 11, 1847, Milan, Ohio, U.S.
Died: Oct. 18, 1931, West Orange, N.J.

Thomas Alva Edison was the quintessential American inventor. He began his career in 1863, in the adolescence of the telegraph industry, when virtually the only source of electricity was primitive batteries putting out a low-voltage current. Before he died, in 1931, he had played a critical role in introducing the modern age of electricity. From his laboratories and workshops emanated the phonograph, the carbon-button transmitter for the telephone speaker and microphone, the incandescent lamp, a revolutionary generator of unprecedented efficiency, the first commercial electric light and power system, an experimental electric railroad, and key elements of motion-picture apparatus, as well as a host of other inventions.

Edison experienced his finest hours at Menlo Park. While experimenting on an underwater cable for the automatic telegraph, he found that the electrical resistance and conductivity of carbon varied according to the pressure it was under. This was a major theoretical discovery, which enabled Edison to devise a "pressure relay" using carbon rather than the usual magnets to vary and balance electric currents. In February 1877 Edison began experiments designed to produce a pressure relay that would amplify and improve the audibility of the telephone, a device that Edison and others had studied but which Alexander Graham Bell was the first to patent, in 1876. By the end of 1877 Edison had developed the carbon-button transmitter that is still used in telephone speakers and microphones.

Some Fundamental Job Interview Questions and Answers

Thereby increase your chances of being recruited. A simple Google search for “sample job interview”, will lead you to varied examples of job interviews. In these links, you can find possible questions that may be asked by your company recruiters. These questions can be a handy and very useful source in preparing for your job interview.

Since no jobs or organizations are alike, their interview methodologies would also vary accordingly. Certain companies majorly focus on your behavior, how one would react to positive appraisals and criticisms in a group or how one would handle a particular crisis situation. Other employers would like to get some positive attributes in their seeker by conducting the interview through webcam, prior to investing to fly into your town. This methodology is generally accepted by interviewers based in a different state or country at times.

The questions would correspond to the interview method being adopted and correspondingly would vary their answers. You may even be given a chance to question your recruiters. Employers generally prefer a candidate who shows his inquisitiveness and is interactive with the other management staff of the company. One should neither shirk from asking questions nor act foolish by asking those which have very obvious reasons.

Here is an insight to the job interview questions that may be put across from the other side of the table to you. Also conveyed are some answers to them.

Q: How do you picture a typical day/week for yourself?

A: This question demands a very detailed description. Clearly highlight some of your day to day responsibilities and tasks. Thereafter, make sure that everything you speak is well knit with the job profile you are being interviewed for. The more linking you exhibit between your past job and your would-be job, the better are your chances of being hired. Employers highly accolade this attribute of using your skills adapted from your past job to your new job.

Q: What is that factor which drives you to work hard?

A: It is obvious that your interviewer does not know you very well. He would really want to know why you were successful in your last job. Undoubtedly, your answer would vary in accordance to your last job(s). Some generalized answers as observed over the years could be that you enjoy being challenged, you are always looking for ways to keep your boss happy, and you are very customer oriented and give their needs the utmost priority.

The job interview questions are more or less on similar lines except for some very high profile jobs. Several famous books by writers come in handy when preparing for a job interview. These books serve as a collection of the most commonly asked questions, and provide answers to them. A pre preparation to handle such job interview questions gives you an edge over your peers’ applying for the same job. A casual approach could simply lead to not being hired.
