Review: People who give this book a poor review must be "politician' managers - or just missed the whole point. As an internet CEO where alliances are critical to success, Segil's book is our 'bible'. Without it we could not have developed the relationships we have with larger companies - often full of politician managers. Her Mindshift approach saved us time and money.

Summary: A must-have for any business development executive
Review: So much of business development in this fast-paced Internet world is opportunistic. All too often corporate officers lose track of what's really important in the deals they structure -- the timing of a deal, the customers that a deal brings, and the internal demands of implementation -- all because they forget about the basic rules for business development. In this book, Segil lays out some valuable lessons for thinking about strategic alliances, but she does it with examples that bridge the online and offline worlds. This is a must-have for any business development group in a company, on-line or off-line, as well as for the senior executives who must manage companies.

Summary: A Must Read
Review: This book is a must read for anyone who uses alliances. Segil's methodology is straigtforward and her keen insights are right on the mark. I am eagerly waiting for the release of her new book, "FastAlliances: Power Your E-Business" which is to hit the stories in January, 2001. I know this book will have a great impact on the way we do business in the new economy.

Summary: Completely Informative
Review: This is one of the most useful books I have read on this subject. Outstanding. Companies could not do newest alliances without it. It is practical and obviously written by someone who has actually created and services such alliances.
