Shared goals and vision Sample Clauses

Shared goals and vision. Businesses enter into a range of external partnerships - strategic alliances, joint ventures, co-marketing, out-sourcing and customer/supplier relationships, and as businesses refocus on core business competencies, these partnerships are important. Xxxxxx, Shaw and Xxxxxx (2007: 3) state that the partnering key success factors include shared goals, open communication, a mutually agreed upon strategy, and a conflict management process that avoids costly and adversarial litigation.

Partnerships help drive market share, sales, and product adoption while maximizing return on assets and return on investment (SAP-AG 2007: 10). According to Xxxxxxxxx (2009: 128) to ensure optimum performance, business enterprises must work to reduce costs, accelerate operation, and improve quality both in their own processes and in their partner organizations.
