International Strategic Alliance Exploration

Strategic alliances can create new opportunities for expansion for businesses. Your task in this exploration is to find your own example of a currently existing (active within the last year) international strategic alliance, and examine the impact of the pros and cons for the companies.

• In your initial post please briefly introduce the strategic alliance you found (no more than one paragraph), and then discuss the pros and cons.
• Your initial post should be 300–400 words.
• You need to conduct research for this assignment. All source material must be cited, and cited using APA citations (this is the standard for the business discipline; if you are unfamiliar with how to cite or how to cite using APA please see the information in the optional Credo Information Literacy module under the Modules tab).
