"The Development of Partnership Based Structure In Comparison To the Concept of MushÉrakah (Sharikah) with Special Reference to Malaysia."

In Malaysia, most of the businesses are micro, small and medium. According to the SME Annual Report 2010/2011, the latest statistics indicate that SMEs constitute 99.2% of the total business establishments and contribute about 32% of GDP and 59% of total employment. In carrying out the SMEs, the option of business vehicles which are available in Malaysia is only the conventional business structure, namely, sole proprietorships, partnerships and company. For the micro, small and medium businesses, the company structure is observed not to be appropriate due to its formal and highly regulated business structure. As such, most of the SMEs are carried out in the form of sole proprietorships and partnerships. This can be seen from the statistics published by Companies Commission of Malaysia which provides that there are 4,660,067 sole proprietorships and partnerships registered compared to only 970,396 of companies being registered. The tax scheme is also another discouraging factor which makes the partnership as a better option for SMEs. In certain sectors, particularly the professionals, for example, lawyers and accountants, the business can only be carried out in the form of sole proprietorships or partnerships. This article intends to highlight the development of partnership based structure in Malaysia and compare it with Islamic version of partnerships structure (Sharikah).

Many U.S. universities are developing interinstitutional partnerships in global business communication. Benefits include preparing students for the workplace by immersing them in intercultural projects and increasing the complexity of their understanding of the global economy. Challenges can range from technological constraints and scarce resources to geopolitical factors and varying disciplinary norms. However, global partnerships make faculty and students more aware of and engaged in the global business environment as they learn to communicate more effectively across cultures, critique current business practices, and produce new ways of being in global relation to each other. An interinstitutional partnership between a U.S. university and Universidad de la Habana in Cuba forms the centerpiece of discussion. Outcomes of this partnership include coauthoring articles in both countries and languages, the creation of a business communication course for graduate students in Cuba, and the development of classroom activities in which selected U.S. and Cuban undergraduate students exchange business documents.

Full textAbstract:
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is the largest framework of global cooperation for human and environmental development on a global scale. This framework requires new responses in the social and political spheres. To a large extent, these can come from different economic and social sectors working together to create synergies that will allow quantitatively significant progress to be made towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Because of that, in the last few decades, the number of cross-sector social partnerships, and, in particular, partnerships between businesses and nonprofit organizations (NPOs), has increased enormously. However, despite their importance, a large proportion of these partnership processes have been unsuccessful due to the different characteristics of the partners and the relational complexity involved in the multiple factors that affect the collaboration over time. In this regard, the business-NPO literature has stressed the importance of improving the existing understanding of the main factors which favour a partnership’s success as well as the interrelationships among those factors. Following different theoretical perspectives used mainly in the context of business-to-business collaborative relationships, the authors test how partner characteristics indirectly influence the success of the partnerships through relational capital. The results, based on a sample (n = 102) of Spanish businesses in collaboration relationships with NPOs, show that partner characteristics (shared values and resource complementarity) help in the formation of relational capital (trust, information sharing, and commitment), and that this positively influences the success of such partnership processes (achievement of objectives and satisfaction of the partners).

Full textAbstract:
Partnership business structures have been accepted as a major venture capital vehicle, which is generally opted for by small and medium businesses, or by professionals that are prohibited from incorporating under the respective laws. The main objectives of this paper are first to highlight the changes in the legal attributes of general partnership structures, resulting from its evolution to limited liability partnerships (LLP). Secondly, it investigates the suitability of the LLP structure for some business partners, particularly professionals, as businesses grow with rising trade costs and litigation issues that have forced partners to take precautions regarding business liabilities. These situations have led to a tendency for existing partnerships to change from general to a hybrid entity (LLP). Thirdly, it also analyses the benefits and drawbacks of LLPs as an option for general partnerships. This paper adopts doctrinal and statutory analysis as the research methods, whereby secondary analysis of relevant documents and legal acts that govern partnership businesses are referred to. Some interviews were conducted with the LLP partners, registration bodies, and bankers, to review the current implementation issues related to LLPs. This research found that the general partnership business structure has many problems, mainly related to unlimited liability and accounting procedures, which affect the obligations and protections of partners’ benefits. To conclude, the question of whether LLPs is the best alternative for partners to opt for from a general partnership finds that it is the easiest choice, compared with incorporation, but many impediments occur in its implementations that must be considered by partners. although partners can protect themselves in LLPs with the partnership agreement, there are still many loopholes in its business implementation when it comes to integrity, trust, financing, reporting, sharing of profits, and other issues.

Purpose – The purpose of this study attempts to fill the gap in the literature by investigating partnerships between life insurers and insurance intermediaries, the effects of these partnerships, and the parties' willingness to cooperate. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected in a survey of general managers of the insurance intermediaries in Taiwan and were analysed using in-depth interviews and questionnaires. A structural equation modelling approach is employed to test the hypotheses. Findings – The paper finds that partnership components, communication strategies, conflict resolution approaches, and market orientation are related to partnership performance. The paper also finds that willingness to continue cooperation increases with partnership performance. The results have implications for managers of life insurers and their intermediaries. Originality/value – This research is one of the first studies to conceptualize and empirically examine the partnerships of life insurers and insurance intermediaries. Theoretically, a specification of the linkages between characteristics of the partnership, communication strategies, conflict resolution approaches, the market orientation of the partners, the partnership's performance and both parties' willingness to continue cooperation can provide a useful framework for future research. Practically, this study offers insights into how to proactively manage partnerships in order to improve partnership performance, willingness to continue cooperation and avoid the damaging costs inherent in failure.

ABBREVIATED PARTNERSHIPS’ NAMES INCLUDING THE COMPANY NAME OF THE PARTNERBusiness names of partnerships can be characterized as liberally evolving, despite the fact their fundament shall be determined by legal provisions. These rules of law arise both from the Polish Companies Code and the Polish Civil Code. Interdependence among these rules requires such a formation of any business name which — on the one hand — would comply with objective ratio for placement of the partner’s company’s name in the partnership’s business name and would not be misleading on the other hand. That notion should provide for a possible placement of the abbreviated legal person’s partner’s name into partnership’s business name. Even if a legal provision requires the partner’s legal person’s business name be placed in its full wording, this requirement should be found as a call for placement of the legal person’s name core name together with indication at that person’s type i.e. at abbreviated company’s business form as minimum. The company’s name is not to provide for an entire identification of the shareholder’s legal person’s name since that can be stated thanks to registered data. A partnership in terms of its personal substrate is stressed here whereby its business name comprises of data identifying at least its one partner. As the partnership is entered into an abbreviated indication at the company’s legal person’s type is the name’s use under provisions of the Polish Companies Code regulating application of abbreviated terms. Moreover, an abbreviated business name should not be more misleading than it would be in a case if the partner’s legal person’s entire name coexisted with an abbreviated indication at the partnership’s form of business.

Abstract From an economic perspective a partnership is an odd construction. Generally, an economist will distinguish between physical persons and companies. However, partnerships are a combination of a person and a company. This report will attempt to give an overview of how the taxation of partnerships affects the organization of businesses and the role played by partnerships in the business structure in the Nordic countries.The Economic General Report is based on the Economic National Reports from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland. This report will include relevant information from the four reports. It is not an exhaustive study of the effects of the tax treatment of partnerships. However, it will examine how taxation of partnerships changes the incentive to choose a certain form of organization and it will give an illustration on how the different tax rules in the Nordic countries work. Particularly, it seeks to identify asymmetries in the taxation of different types of company structures, and the role of partnerships in the business structure.

Purpose Consultancy services for internationalisation are crucial to help companies to grow and find new businesses abroad. This kind of service used to be provided by consultancy firms operating in the home country of the clients. Considering the advantages of partnerships that theory has enhanced, this paper aims to identify the motivations and perceived opportunities from consultancy firms to establish business-to-business partnerships with international consultancy companies in other countries, with the purpose of reinforcing international trading. Design/methodology/approach As an exploratory study, this paper shows the perspective of 13 interviewed German consultancy managers focused on international business about developing a partnership with international consultancy firms from Portugal. Findings Consultants indicate that with mutual benefits, partnerships are welcome. However, the study enhances the importance of signals of status and reputation for international partnerships among business consultancy firms and reveals a lack of knowledge about the market opportunities for internationalisation that might motivate German consultancy firms to establish partnerships with consultancy companies in Portugal. Originality/value The paper highlights the low motivation of consultants from a higher-status country to establish partnerships with international business consultancy firms in lower-status countries. The study addresses useful recommendations for consultancy firms, governments and international trade agencies to intensify marketing activities and enhance country reputation and positioning in international business, communicating the opportunities and potential of markets and building signals of status and reputation for international consulting.

Why do Asian developmental states form partnerships with businesses? How and under what conditions do state–business partnerships evolve when a developmental state moves up the global value chain (GVC)? This paper argues that as Asian developmental states move up the GVC, they will engage in more intensive partnerships with businesses to spur innovation. Moreover, using the triple helix model of innovation in the business literature, Asian states high on the value chain will move away from a simple bilateral state–business relation to a trilateral state–business–university relation, leveraging talent in universities to drive innovation. Based on comparative case analysis of six Asian economies, the advanced economies not only show strong state–business relations, but also have tight triadic state–business–university closures. On the other hand, emerging Asian economies exhibit premature triple helix configurations. By contrasting a variety of cases, this paper provides insights to the heterogeneity of state-led innovation partnerships in Asia.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine high-tech small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) supply chain partnerships. Partnerships are considered at the level of business function rather than the entire organisation. Second, the drivers of SMEs to engage in partnerships are assessed to see whether functions engage in partnerships for different reasons. Third, performance per function is assessed to see the differential effect of partnerships on the function’s performance. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the relationship between the drivers of SMEs to engage in partnerships, four types of partnerships (marketing and sales, research and development (R&D), purchasing and logistics, and production) and four types of functional performances of firms (marketing and sales, R&D, purchasing and logistics, and production) are examined. The data have been collected from 279 SMEs. The proposed hypotheses are tested using structural equation modelling. Findings The results indicate that there are considerable differences between business functions in terms of the degree of involvement in partnerships and the effect of partnerships on the performance of these functions. This paper contributes to research by explaining the contradictory results of partnerships on SMEs performance. Practical implications This study helps firms understand which type of partnership should be established based on the firm’s drivers to engage in supply chain partnership; and which partnership has a significant effect on which type of business performance of the firm. Originality/value The originality of this study is to investigate the relationship between different drivers to engage in supply chain partnership and different types of partnerships and different functional performance of firm in a single model.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to better understand the effects of independent restaurant partnerships upon product innovation associated with performance by investigating differences in business situations between startup and established independent restaurant sectors. Design/methodology/approach Partnership strength and diversity were assessed to identify their influence on restaurant product innovation and performance using a structural equation model to test the study’s hypotheses. A multi-group analysis was used to examine the moderating roles of business life cycle on the relationships between partnership strength and diversity and product innovation. Findings Results found that product innovation implementation requires strong and diverse partnerships with suppliers to improve independent restaurant performance. Diverse partnerships have a more positive effect upon product innovation than do strong partnerships. The positive effect partnership strength with suppliers had upon product innovation was significantly greater for startup restaurants, while its positive effect of diversity was greater for established restaurants. Practical implications Findings can be used to establish effective strategic partnerships with independent restaurant suppliers and to manage them more effectively in consideration of their business characteristics being startup or established operations. Originality/value This study was an initial attempt to empirically prove significant roles of partnership strength and diversity applied to the context of independent restaurant product innovation. Findings regarding different effects of partnership strength and diversity contributed to the existing body of knowledge about strategic partnerships with suppliers.

An integral component of successful entrepreneurial activity is the establishment of strong relations with partners, the form and type of which varies depending on the sphere of activity and its scope. Considering that a prerequisite for a business partnership is constant communication, the style, and quality of which mainly determines the success of doing business, the development of business communication skills becomes an object of continuous research by both scientists and enterprise managers. The main goal of this study was to examine the role and the importance of business partnerships in Google Trends. Another goal of the study was to look at how often the term business partnership appears in Google books, with the help of Google Books Ngram Viewer, as well as in a database of Science Direct, with the help of Science Direct’s search function. The top year of the interest frequency of business partnership was 2004 in the Google Trends worldwide in business and industry categories. The bottom year of interest frequency was 2006. The geographic analysis revealed that most people searched in Botswana, in Jamaica, in Zimbabwe, in Ghana, and Uganda for the term business partnership. Interestingly, these countries are all located on the African continent, except Jamaica. Most people searched in Accra, in Nairobi, in Manila, in Quezon City, and Cebu for the term business partnership. The results of the bibliometric analysis of the relationship of business partnerships with other categories made it possible to conclude that people (mostly from the Philippines, Ethiopia, the USA, Canada, and Kenya) inquired about the joint venture and limited partnership. The conducted study revealed that from 1950 to 1970, the frequency of appearance of business partnership in the Google Books` database has been decreasing continuously. From 1972 the frequency has been growing gradually, then from 2006, the frequency has been decreasing gradually. The use of the term “business partnership” shows in the Science Direct a second-degree polynomial growing trend. Summarizing all these results, we can conclude that while people in developing countries in Africa and Jamaica were most sought for expressing business partnerships, people in developed countries were more interested in types of business partnerships. Keywords: Business partnership, Google Trends, Google Books Ngram Viewer, Science Direct, Time Series Analysis.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of forming digital strategic partnerships of enterprises. Rapidly growing companies working in the field of innovative technologies are striving for digital strategic partnerships to gain a competitive advantage in the market. At the same time, companies that operate on the basis of traditional business organization seek to unite for geographical expansion, diversification, expansion of production, reduction of costs, or other elements of the supply chain. It has been proven that the creation of partnerships has a much stronger effect than the activities of each enterprise individually. The main approaches to the formation of digital strategic partnerships of enterprises are described – resource and target. Based on the essence of digital strategic partnership – bringing together parties (enterprises) to achieve a strategic goal, in particular, increase efficiency, which involves creating a common system of values and processes based on resources and competencies of partners based on a single digital platform for business , the author built the concept of digital strategic partnership. The concept of digital strategic partnership provides for the coordination of the goal – to ensure effective, balanced economic and technological development of business processes of integrated enterprises and obtain a synergistic effect, a list of tasks, principles, functions and methods. The object of forming a conceptual approach to the development of digital strategic partnerships are the generalized system of business process and individual business processes, criteria and indicators of effectiveness of digital strategic partnerships are the optimal ratio of actual results to regulatory (reference); maximizing quality indicators.

Full textAbstract:
Currently, there is a trend in the world community to form partnerships focused on cooperation between various business structures which are aimed at achieving a synergistic effect in the fulfillment of common economic interests. Modern business partnerships can be implemented in a variety of forms by using specific methods and approaches. At the same time, it has been noted that business partnerships are subject to transformation under the influence of the emergence of new technologies, methods and tools, one of which is the franchising system of relations. Taking into account the existing international experience of using franchising as an effective tool for building partnerships, further research is needed to more accurately define, systematize and quantify the strategic advantages that participants receive when forming business partnerships in modern conditions. The purpose of the paper is to identify and summarize the strategic advantages received by participants in the formation of business partnerships based on the franchising system of relations. Historical and bibliographic methods have been used to substantiate the theoretical provisions of the article. The applied part of the article is implemented with the use of modern electronic services that allow assessing the effectiveness of using the franchise system. This article examines possible forms of business partnerships, indicating specific examples of companies from Russian and foreign practice (IKEA, Tesla Motors, ACI Plastics, Sibur, Arya Home, METRO and others); a comparative analysis of the application of franchising in Russia and a number of leading foreign countries (the USA, the UK, France, Germany, Japan, etc.) has been carried out. The article presents the calculated characteristics of the project efficiency of a business partnership on the example of the Russian franchise «PIONER AUTO». The results presented in the paper show that the purchase of the abovementioned franchise will pay off in 1.5 years with further profit. The authors highlight the current trends in the development of global franchising in the context of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and highlight the main trends in 2021. According to the conducted research, the authors propose a model of franchising business partnership, systematize possible benefits of participants in a franchise business partnership on the basis of an earlier assessment of the possible effect.

Full textAbstract:
Basically a natural partnership will achieve its goal if mutual requirements, mutual reinforcement, and mutual benefit can be maintained and made a strong fundamental commitment among partners. Nevertheless the development seems very slow. The cause is the presence of specific and different conditions and structure factors compared to other countries. Along with that, we still encounter various forms of gaps, such as inequality among regions, among income groups, between sectors, among economic actors, and so forth. The next problem is that in business entities including cooperatives and micro and small enterprises in running their business activities requires business partnerships with medium and large enterprises in order to improve business performance and business scale. While on the other hand our economic conditions and structures are not yet fully conducive to fostering partnerships based on purely business considerations or competitive market motivations but the business partnership of the foundation is strong enough in our country's constitution. Partnerships will work if partners are equally benefiting. Our concept of partnership is like that, although in the short term, there is a party or a party benefiting more from the other side.

Full textAbstract:
One of the forms of limiting the principle of economic freedom in the Polish legal system is the prohibition of entrepreneurs from pursuing economic activity in certain areas without a permit. The authorizing authority grants the permit to the entrepreneur who meets the conditions required by law. If a permit is required to conduct business activity by civil partnerships, the permit is issued to individual partners of that partnership, and not to the civil partnership itself, because the legislator does not grant the status of an entrepreneur to civil partnerships. This means that in a situation where we have, for example, five partners in a civil partnership, each of them must apply for a permit and bear the costs of its issuance, which in fact will be additional costs incurred for running a business in this organizational and legal form. Therefore, it can be assumed that the legislator treats civil partnerships worse than partnerships under commercial law, for which it is enough to run a business if they have one permit issued for a company.

Full textAbstract:
These years, rural–urban business partnerships emerge in a new trans-territorial logic, surpassing normal trade alliances. Such partnerships embrace social issues, benefits related to place branding, knowledge dissemination, etc. This contribution scrutinizes 11 rural–urban business partnerships in Denmark within fields of food, film, green care, media, retail, teleworking, education, and tourism. The degree of structural and legal formalization varies, but in many cases the formalization is fairly low. Partnership transparency formats depend on interrelationships with volunteering communities. When analyzing resource composition of the rural–urban business partnerships it becomes clear that there are multi-faceted value flows consisting of products, production capacity, market access, knowledge, capital, waste products, and amenities. The creation of productive business partnerships often takes a long time, and they are matters of continual change. The successful examples transform positively the value chain and rearrange the nature and power of transactions in a territorial framework, and they accommodate for entrepreneurial forces in disadvantaged regions.

Background: School district superintendents continue to favor collaborative relationships with their local business communities amid concerns over free-market competition, maintaining public legitimacy, and scarce financial resources. Prior research is inadequate regarding the development, implementation, and institutionalization of school and business collaboration, with respect to current institutional and market pressures, and the unique contributions of superintendents. Purpose: The purpose was to examine the superintendent’s role in the development and institutionalization of school and business partnerships in a district without prior history of collaborative relationships and to assess capacity for sustainability. Setting: A medium- sized (12,850 students) metropolitan-area school district in the U.S. Southwest that also includes one local chamber of commerce was the setting. Participants: Two district superintendents (transition in leadership occurred), a chamber of commerce CEO, and 13 other school district officials and business leaders (i.e., principals, chamber members, partnership coordinator) directly involved in partnerships or providing administrative oversight participated. Research Design: Qualitative case study was the research design. Data Collection and Analysis: Data were obtained using semistructured interviews, observations, and document analysis. A conceptual model for developing business partnerships and neo-institutionalism theory guide this qualitative analysis. Findings: Superintendent agency and district capacity for action (i.e., lack of professional development, departure of key roles, overdependency on myth and ceremony) both enabled and constrained partnership development, implementation, and capacity for institutionalization in the context of current institutional and market pressures. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the complimentary usefulness of the conceptual model and neo-institutionalism theory for studying leadership of school district and business partnerships and building school and community capacity for educational change.

Purpose – Recently David Jones in Who Cares Wins proposed sustainability as being essential for businesses success over the coming decades. The purpose of this paper is to present a case study of the development of a partnership between an environmental non-government organisation (NGO) (world wildlife fund-UK) and a major retailer (Marks and Spencer). The partnership developed three “types”, sponsorship, technical and communication partnerships. Design/methodology/approach – A grounded theory approach was taken; information was gathered using semi-structured interviews. Data from these interviews were then triangulated with corporate materials to allow generalisations to develop. Findings – Through the three “types” of partnership themes of conflict and project drift were identified, although the overarching “Plan A” commitment is seen as a potential exemplar in sustainability. Difficulties were identified with respect to the dissemination of the outputs from the partnership, some of which were too complex, where others appeared to change to be more appealing to the consumer. Social implications – Although a single case study, it highlights the challenges and benefits to both partners. As such, it provides insight into the practical issues of delivering sustainability commitments and projects in partnership. Such approaches are critical not only for the viability of business, but also for the long-term health of our planet. Originality/value – This represents a case study of the development of a sustainable partnership between a large corporate and an NGO, which could represent a template for sustainable business. This paper in responds to the growing demand for such case-study examples.

Full textAbstract:
Small businesses face multiple constraints on innovating that open innovation (OI) has potential to help overcome. The aim of this study is to examine the association between business group affiliation and the extent of OI engaged in by SMEs. Unlike independent SMEs, those that have affiliations might benefit from internal and also external networks to initiate partnerships to innovate. We analysed data collected from 711 French SMEs that engage in innovation to assess the association between business group affiliation and open innovation practices. We found that business group affiliation has no significant relationship with the degree of engagement in open innovation or with partnership openness. Nevertheless, we found that affiliation to an international group influences the geographical openness of SMEs’ innovation. These findings contribute to our understanding of open innovation among SMEs by acknowledging the geographical challenges of partnerships in open innovation.

Purpose There has been a widespread move in England’s city centres to a business crime reduction partnership (BCRP) model that welcomes businesses from all commercial sectors and that operate during day time and night time trading hours, and that seeks to tackle a broad range of crimes and associated behaviours. The purpose of this paper is to consider whether this new holistic approach offers benefits that narrower models do not. Design/methodology/approach This study draws upon data from a multi-year examination of the Gloucester City Safe BCRP, including quantitative analysis of 4,523 offences recorded by the partnership and qualitative analysis of 149 interviews with its members. Findings In Gloucester there was a small minority of offenders who commit offences against more than one type of business, who offend during both the day time and night time trading hours and who commit more than one type of offence. There is value, therefore, in partnerships bringing together businesses from different commercial sectors and that operate in the day and night time economies to coordinate their efforts to tackle such activity. Practical implications Sharing information among partnership members via e-mail and secure web-based platforms helps raise awareness concerning offenders and the offences that they commit which in turn can be used to prevent offences from occurring. Social implications This inclusive holistic BCRP model can lead to an increased sense of community cohesion for its members arising from the collective effort of multiple types of businesses. Originality/value The authors are not aware of other studies that have considered these issues.

Full textAbstract:
The problem of small-scale broiler business is the low efficiency and low application of biosecurity. In the chicken industry, however, efficiency is an essential consideration for product competitiveness in terms of both price and quality. Vertical integration involving small scale businesses in partnership models is expected to maintain the existence of small scale businesses. This paper aims to analyze the performance of the implementation of various models of broiler business partnerships with the legal basis for the establishment of partnership. In this paper there are four models to be discussed, namely: Partnership of National Price Contract (KKHN), Partnership of Regional Price Contracts (KKHR), Partnership of Local Broiler Maklun (KMLB), and Partnership of Local Revenue Sharing (KBHL). The implementation of legislation for the broiler partnership is weak. This can be seen from the tendency of the core companies to narrow down to the KKHN model, while other models are being pushed and bankrupt, and there is the occurrence of unilateral business relationship termination by the nucleus company to plasma as its business partner. The policy recommendations offered are: (i) There is a need to strengthen regulation and guidance by relevant agencies in charge of animal husbandry and animal health functions at the central and regional levels supported by Business Competition Supervision Commission (KPPU); (ii) The company is advised not to break the partnership relationship with small-scale farmers who have worked together for a long time; (iii) The company should reserve funds from the farmer's chicken harvest to reinvest the chicken cage.

Full textAbstract:
In a funding environment where commercial collaboration and “user engagement” are increasingly encouraged, this paper explores the ethical, political, and methodological challenges of various forms of partnership between academic researchers and food businesses. Drawing on two recently completed projects, the paper assesses the variable “power-geometry” of such partnerships, including the process of negotiating access, securing informed consent, and conducting and disseminating the research. The paper distinguishes between publicly funded academic research, where independence is more easily maintained, and market research and consultancy, where conflicts of interest are more likely to arise. Commercial collaboration is academically valuable in providing access to data and insights that are not publicly available, but can be treacherous if researchers are unaware of the uneven power-geometry of such partnerships.

Full textAbstract:
Using the symbiotic sustainability model as a framework, this research investigates how many and with which businesses top nonprofit organizations report partnerships. We examined the websites of the 122 largest, most recognizable U.S. nonprofits. These websites included information about 2,418 business–nonprofit (B2N) partnerships with 1,707 unique businesses. The results suggest key differences with previous research on how U.S. Fortune 500 companies report B2N partnerships. Leading nonprofits report more B2N partnerships than U.S. Fortune 500 companies do. Furthermore, nonprofits do not maintain industry exclusivity in reporting B2N partnerships, like their business counterparts do. Finally, social issue industries do not exert the same isomorphic pressures on B2N partnerships that economic industries do. New propositions that extend the symbiotic sustainability model are presented to account for nonprofits’ unique goals for capital accumulation in B2N partnering and the industry characteristics.

This article analyses the increasing use of UK partnerships for criminal purposes, often in other jurisdictions, and argues that the regulatory responses are inadequate, and must be supplemented by a comprehensive ethical framework. I first argue that partnerships offer substantial benefits for a variety of businesses, but that they also have vulnerabilities which have led to their misuse and even abuse through criminal activities, which I also discuss. I then analyse the deficiencies of the regulatory measures designed to tackle the abuses, including requirements to disclose participant identity and accounts, and anti-money laundering and tax evasion measures. Finally, I evaluate the use of a supplementary ethical framework to reduce the abuses, and examine how such a framework could be created. My analysis provides an understanding of the causes and consequences of partnership abuses and of how they can be overcome. This advances the ongoing debate in the UK over the abuse of partnerships and the wider issue of business transparency, and has implications for the many other jurisdictions in which UK partnerships operate and in which the abuses take place, as well as for jurisdictions which have similar partnership vehicles to those in the UK.

In an environment characterized by scarce resources, increased competition, higher customer expectations, and faster rates of change, executives are turning to partnerships to strengthen supply chain integration and provide sustainable competitive advantage. Partnerships can be an effective means to improve a business relationship and the resultant levels of business between the partners; however, the creation and management of a partnership should be considered part of an overall account management process. This is particularly true in the case of strategic account management. A strategic account is defined as an account (customer) that is critical to the long‐term success of your business. This article will focus on providing an overview of how CSX Corporation (CSX) utilizes the Lambert/Emmelhainz/Gardner Partnership Model, which was presented in the last issue of this journal, in conjunction with its strategic account management program. The primary emphasis will be on the initial steps of CSX's account management process which are required prerequisites to use the Partnership Model. In addition, a specific model application will be reviewed.

The purpose of this study is to establish the role of business incubators and their partnership with other economic, state and scientific institutions in Serbia, based on a survey conducted with incubator managers. State institutions and research institutions, as well as universities, are the main partners of business incubators. This cooperation has become a cornerstone of modern Serbian business. To succeed, businesses need to bind to a number of other companies and businesses such as investors, research institutions, economic organizations, local authorities, economic development organizations, and others. The positive effects of creating cluster networks and business incubators are many. Such clustering creates tangible partnerships between start-ups and international companies that support and promote small and medium-sized businesses in Serbia.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainable development is a global imperative, and strategic partnerships involving business, government and civil society may present a successful approach for the development of communities around the world. Business Partners for Development (BPD) is an informal network of partners that seeks to demonstrate that partnerships among these three sectors can achieve more at the local level than any of the groups acting individually. The Water and Sanitation Cluster of the BPD has been working with eight partnership projects around the world to determine the efficacy of the partnership approach in providing water and sanitation to the poor. Measuring the effectiveness of these partnerships, however, proves challenging. Different interested and affected groups will measure the success of the initiative along different sets of criteria. Partnership elicits qualitative values such as trust, responsiveness and flexibility that are more likely to be “measured” by gut reactions rather than by more mechanical means. However, the creation and maintenance of a carefully selected set of indicators for a specific partnership project should enhance relations by increasing clarity and building stronger communication channels. The paper below provides considerations for the creation of partnership indicators.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Industry practice shows that buyer-supplier partnerships are negatively influenced by zero-sum pie-sharing competition. Interfirm rivalry vis-à-vis a fair financial distribution of the mutually generated partnership pie is a growing source of concern for firms because fairness has a direct effect on the competitiveness of a partnership. This study aims to examine the consequences of fairness in pie-sharing within buyer-supplier new product development (NPD) partnerships on product-innovation, product-quality and product-cost, as well as the mediating role of opportunism. Design/methodology/approach The empirical analyses are grounded on data from 147 NPD partnerships between Tier-1 suppliers and automotive manufacturers, using structural equation modeling with SPSS AMOS. Findings Findings indicate that pie-sharing fairness significantly influences the partnership’s ability to increase NPD effectiveness and efficiency. Moreover, unfairness in sharing the mutual pie showed to promote harmful opportunism, which negatively mediates the relationship between pie-sharing fairness and NPD performance. To control partners’ fairness perception in the first place, the analysis revealed three factors that affect pie-sharing fairness significantly, i.e. relationship induced financial performance, behavioral tension and interfirm dependency. Originality/value Exchange relationships are built on economic and social components, both of which can be combined within the construct of pie-sharing fairness. Firms must take an interest in their exchange partner’s equitable share of the mutually generated partnership pie, as pie-sharing fairness can be used to promote determinants of effectiveness and efficiency of their mutual NPD project. In a two-sided mutually contingent exchange behavior, the firm’s own welfare must be regarded as an interorganizational overlap with the partner’s, which can be optimized only by mutual efforts.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the extent to which two types of commercial partnerships (business partner and non-business partner) affect the collaborative innovation of firms in emerging economies. Specifically, the roles of two commercial partnerships are investigated. Additionally, the study explores the moderating effect of external technological uncertainty and internal dynamic capabilities on the relationship between two commercial partnerships and on collaborative innovation. Design/methodology/approach Using a sample of 370 high-tech firms in China, the authors applied the partial least squares structural equation modeling approach to model these relationships. Findings The findings reveal opportunities and challenges for companies according to two intensities of commercial partnership for collaborative innovation. The partnership contribution to innovation and competiveness is different within the two routes and ranges. The findings indicate that (1) intense commercial relationships with business partners have a stronger positive significant impact on collaborative innovation than those with non-business partners and (2) non-business partners have a weaker positive impact on collaborative innovation at high external technological uncertainty. It was also found that (3) the positive impact of business partners on collaborative innovation is weakened when a firm has high dynamic capabilities, whereas the positive impact of non-business partners is strengthened. Research limitations/implications Insight into the roles of two commercial partnerships in achieving collaborative innovation facilitates the advancement of the theoretical understanding of the circumstances under which cooperative innovation can be more effective under different partnerships. Originality/value A key strategic question is whether comprehensiveness enables firms to make better strategic decisions in various environments. In the process of innovation, companies must choose different types and quantities of partners, and they must regulate their partners’ innovative behavior by establishing a corresponding network structure and relationship rules. The current study focuses on analysis of how different intensities of commercial partnerships affect collaborative innovation. This research provides a theoretical framework that creates a new classification of commercial relations with regard to collaborative innovation, and it highlights the difference between the two types of partnerships. This study finds that there are many problems in the selection of innovative partners in China’s high-tech companies. Therefore, companies should strengthen their understanding of cooperative innovation, and they should build and manage highly efficient innovation networks. This study helps companies, high-tech industry associations, academia and government to take enhanced, informed actions.

The progress of market relations without fail requires a theoretical understanding of the various legal forms of doing business, where special attention is given to business partnerships. In world practice, such enterprises are successfully used for small and medium-sized businesses. At the present stage, this legal form is used to create short-term joint ventures, especially for the implementation of short-term investment projects. The issues of the legal status of business partnerships as a factor of sustainable development are traditionally widely covered in civil law, at the same time, the legal status of business partnerships of the Republic of Kazakh-stan and the Russian Federation should be given more attention in the context of the realities of today's innovative processes and reforming national legislation. The research using approbation of a set of scientific methods made it possible to reveal legal approaches to the study of business partnerships, to analyse the relevant cur-rent legislative framework, to assess its effectiveness and compliance with the re-quirements of updated business processes. The article substantiates that business partnerships are the most accessible legal form of doing business in many coun-tries, while also remaining the prevailing form in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. In turn, it was stated that the legislation of the Russian Federation is only on the way of its comprehensive reform in the field of legal regulation of the position of business partnerships (general and lim-ited partnerships), which requires a balanced development and adoption of a sin-gle federal normative legal act.

Full textAbstract:
The conventional image of the small business owner is that of a highly independent individual, taking risks and 'doing it tough' with limited assistance from others. However, research conducted in the United Kingdom and Australia with high performance small firms suggest that this is not so. A multivariate data analysis of the relationship between business management practice and sales growth performance identified the importance of partnering. This refers to the process of working in partnership with people who affect the business. Partnering involves creating and maintaining partnerships with everyone who affects your business. Working in partnership involves the creative talents and energies of everyone who can affect your business. The effect is that everyone, from staff through to supplier and customers, works together for mutual gain. These findings suggest that the owner of a small business needs to view himself or herself less as a lonely, isolated battler and more as someone who can gain from partnering. A willingness to seek strategic alliances can prove a valuable source of potential growth for small firms.
