There is basically one goal for the partnership, with possible side benefits. The goal is to save money. When all the dust settles, that is it. However, there are associated benefits, the best of which is to minimize or even do away with adversarial relationships. It may be wishful thinking to believe that these will be completely eliminated. A related, but very important, benefit is to build trust between the parties. This is necessary to achieve the goal. 

There are several joint ventures, such as the Multi Purpose Vehicles (MPV) that Ford, Nissan, and VW produce exactly the same vehicle with slight modifications. Ford, Seat, and VW also produce a common MPV and there are several partnerships, such as Rover engines being supplied to Proton, Ford, and Honda. Lada get their chassis from Fiat and their engines from GM. Mitsubishi build the Carisma in Holland in the same plant that Volvo build the S40. The Porche Boxster is assembled in Finland by the same company that assembles the Saab 9-3 cabriolet, and so on. One cannot be sure who owns the company that makes your car, where the components come from, and where it is assembled. What matters is that it meets your needs and expectations and this can only be achieved if there are some common systems in use in each of the countries, so that who owns who and who builds what becomes irrelevant to customer confidence.

While most beginners publish in partnership with a more experienced mentor, Carothers was its sole author. When he left South Dakota at the end of the school year, he was not only solvent, but also a small step closer to building a scientific reputation. He had learned an important lesson as well he had enough ideas to keep several people busy. 

It is also important for chemical facilities to develop partnerships with the communities and customers they serve. Partnerships help to build credibility within communities and establish public confidence in utility operations. People who live near chemical facility structures can be the eyes and ears of the facility, and can be encouraged to notice and report changes in operating procedures or other suspicious behaviors.

The UK Fuel Cell Vision Paper also focuses on demonstrations to prove the economic and technical feasibility of fuel cell technology and build awareness of fuel cells benefits. Also, the government-sponsored Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership (LowCVP) will ensure that UK industry is fully involved in the shift to low-carbon transport, providing a forum for all stakeholders to work towards this goal.

The basic building blocks of business development deals are, for the most part, contracts. These contain various degrees of complexity depending on the number of elements and parties to the contract. Partnerships and joint ventures are other legal forms with which the business developer will need to become familiar. Another part of the law which you will need to be familiar is intellectual property law which, in the pharmaceutical industry, underlies most of the value of the products. Some of the practical issues that need to be addressed by business development will be discussed in this book, but no attempt to pre-empt legal advice or interpret the legal mind will be made.
