Where or in Which Function Does the Alliance Management Responsibility Reside?
Where and in which function the Alliance Management responsibility resides depends on organizational needs, size, culture, personnel, and a whole host of other considerations. We will debate the issues and pros/cons of alliance management residing in business development, in project management or being a stand-alone function. Those with one particular mindset will be provided a window of more options to consider, as well as more flexible perspectives in working with their alliance partners.
