Alternative Rationals, business and finance assignment help

As in previous weeks, this discussion assignment has
three parts. You should use brief headings to separate your post into
the three sections.

For the first section of your post, review
the textbook discussion of alternative rationales for cooperative
strategy on the business level. The text suggests that the most
effective approaches for creating a sustainable, competitive advantage
are complementary strategic alliances. Your first section should
justify whether you agree that complementary strategic alliances are the
best approach. Be sure to refer to the basic requirements for
sustainable competitive advantage that are found in a business-level strategy. Utilize research, rationale, and appropriate examples in your response.

For the second section of your post, review the textbook discussion of the rationale for cooperative strategy on the corporate level. Select one
of the three types of corporate-level cooperative strategy
alternatives discussed in the text. Using the rationale of business
strategy, explain how it can enable a firm to achieve a corporate
strategy goal. In selecting and defending your choice, be sure to
explain the particular advantages that a cooperative strategy brings.
The best class discussion will occur if students do not all select the
same corporate-level cooperative strategy alternative to defend.

The final section or paragraph (three or
four sentences) of your initial post should summarize the one or two
key points that you are making in your initial response.

Your posting should be the equivalent of 1.5 to 2 single-spaced pages (750–1000 words) in length.
