For each alliance, identify whether the companies’ other products are generally competitors or complementary. What are the goals of each alliance? What brought them together? Discuss how you think a strategic alliance is or is not an effective way for these organizations to meet their goals.

Although all departments of an organization should work toward a common goal, there are often conflicting objectives. For example, finance wants to keep costs down, whereas the design team wants to add an extra feature to the product.
