The yearbook Strategic Competence-Management, Volume 5, 2011 was originally published by Rainer Hampp Verlag.

Strategic alliances, joint ventures, international franchise systems and networkorganized value added partnerships have become the standard repertoire of strategic management. Cooperative systems have also developed as a main topic in the research area. This reader views the theme of cooperation from a resource based and competence oriented perspective. Skills and capabilities are in the focus of successful management of inter-organizational co-operations. Their analysis will be enlarged by focusing selected industry sectors (film industry, fiberglass net industry).
