A strategic alliance does not create a new entity; partners remain independent while collaborating on specific goals such as licensing, distribution, or technology sharing. It relies on a detailed contract that sets expectations and performance metrics.
Governance in these structures typically assigns decision rights and monitoring. Even without a new entity, regular reporting and escalation paths help prevent deadlocks and ensure progress.
