Article Abstract:
Global firms must develop an understanding of their competitors, partners and managers in order to remain competitive. Companies must collect enough information about their competitors to accurately determine their strategies and objectives. Preparation is essential for strategic partnerships to evaluate compatibility with a potential partner's business practices and objectives. The cultural diversity of managers should also be considered to better understand and utilize their individual skills.
