Assignment:
Both my classmate and I need this write-up for this case. So you need to write 2 different essays for us.
Each write-up requires single-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman, and one inch margins. I'll upload the case reading material and the slides below.
You need to write this essay basis on the slides I uploaded and the following 4 questions:
1. What are the challenges facing Jim Heal and Mike Thomas?
2. What are Heal's and Thomas' bases of power? What influence tactics are available to them?
3. If you were appointed to an alliance manager position at HP or Cisco, what would your action plan be? How would you prioritize your actions?
4. If you were Steinhilber or Russell, what kinds of structural interventions would you pursue to enable your alliance organization to function effectively?
(All you need to do is to answer those questions basis on slides and reading materials)
