Copenhagen Conference on Partnerships: Achieving Collaborative Advantage

“For industry giants and ambitious start-ups alike, strategic partnerships have become central to competitive success in fast-changing global markets […]. In this new world of networks, coalitions, and alliances, strategic partnerships are not an option but a necessity”. (Doz and Hamel 1998: ix)
Partnerships have become a reality for public and private organizations alike. For many private sector businesses, cooperation with other companies has become an important means of enhancing competitive advantage. And, in the public sector, cooperation with private sector organizations is viewed as an important way to improve public service delivery.
The aim of the conference is twofold. First, the objective is to enhance our understanding of how partnerships function in practice; what does it take to redeem the promises of collaborative advantage? Second, the objective is to cross-fertilize research on private-private partnerships (alliances) and public-private partnerships (PPP), as these two research fields share many common topics.

Arranged by: International Center for Business and Politics & Center for Strategic Management and Globalization , Copenhagen Business School
