Why ‘Six Degrees of Strategic Alliance’ Spurs Innovation

Why ‘Six Degrees of Strategic Alliance’ Spurs Innovation

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

A recent study has found that when companies are linked in a network of strategic alliance relationships with only a few degrees of separation, they are more innovative. Jointly conducted by the University of Washington and New York University, and as reported in Science Daily, the researchers examined the pattern or structure of strategic alliance relationships among companies.  What they found is that the way firms are connected to one another influences the number of patented inventions they obtained. According to the researchers, companies reap greater benefits when they are part of a close-knit network — characteristic of a “small world network”.  Why?  Because the close cooperation that is fostered by these kinds of alliances helps the alliance partners to exchange information in a faster and more meaningful way.  Read the article to find how you can introduce more innovation into your alliances!

Flying solo doesn’t have to mean going it alone.

I’m Nina Kaufman.

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.

With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.

And because I’ve been a business owner myself, I’ve lived through the soaring highs and devastating lows – like when my first law firm failed. So I understand what’s involved to serve great clients, detect business risks early and build a true legacy.

I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
