Abstract: The Network Economy forces managers to engage competition through networks of alliances. Organisations must nurture skills that successful alliance development requires and attain a ''partnering mindset''. Studies indicate that alliance success remains an elusive aspiration for the majority of organisations, with up to 70% failing to meet their initial objectives. SMART addresses this issue by developing a systematic managerial method for strategic alliance formation and management. This provides the structure for a software-based decision support system that includes extensive learning and support material for manager and business consultant training.
