Joint ventures are the ultimate example of Global sourcing; they can take many forms, and often prove a cost-effective alternative to time-consuming and costly product development or instead of buying products from overseas. Joint ventures allow smaller companies to increase knowledge, expand markets, share expertise and lower costs. Formulating joint ventures and overseas subsidiaries with a solid and trustworthy partner can dramatically improve your credibility and have a significant effect on growth and profitability.

Once alliances are formed, whether it is between a group of smaller companies or two large industry leaders, the partnership forms strong ties which are extremely difficult for competitors to unravel protecting the allied companies from outside ventures.
