As discussed in the textbook reading, collaborations tend to be most successful when the partners have a good strategic fit as well as a good resource fit. Using the organization and technological innovation you researched for the Module One discussion, evaluate the relative resource fit and strategic fit of the organizations that partnered in the technological innovation. In hindsight, might there have been another organization or organizations that would have had a better overall fit for this collaboration? Explain. If you cannot find details on the partners and the strategic relationship, select another organization and technological innovation that interests you and has more publicly available information on the collaboration partners.
