Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c22899) has announced the addition of IBM Changes the Role of Vendors in Achieving Marketplace Success: A Best Practice Study on Creating Team-Driven Partnerships for the Future to their offering

The corporate culture of teams is a corporate culture is based on partners sharing years of technology and manufacturing experience. Every partnership depends on a small group (fewer than 200 people) getting together to accomplish a competitive challenge. In the partnership organized as a team, everyone is equal in this lattice organization with no hierarchy or organizational charts.

Each business team operates as an entrepreneurial organization, with team-based development efforts and one-on-one communication. The support of a well-established multinational business enterprise is central to partnering in the efforts to implement horizontal integration of business process in midrange company markets.

Resource is central to making partnerships work. The large enterprise partner brings resource in the form of marketing thrust, products, management expertise, financing, and development money. The reason partnerships need to be implemented as teams with lattice organization, no hierarchy, and no organizational charts is that partnership provide the large enterprises with a local presence all over the world.

Global digital environment depends on leadership and partnering to bring pervasive technologies into local environments. Outsourcing is being redefined as partnering. Every products and service needs to be implemented in the context of local business context. Just as all politics is local, so also all business is local.

Based on the thesis that new corporate teams are a reflection of sports teams, this report looks at sports in the context of new business technology and new business initiatives to see if there are techniques in sports that are useful for business partnering. Sports teams have been around as long as business, but sports have always been ad hoc organizations, basically unstructured.

Businesses have more traditionally been organized hierarchically with authoritarian infrastructure. This report looks at corporate teams as moving to achieve competitive advantage by using the techniques of collaboration that have been developed by sports teams for winning games. The techniques of collaboration that have been developed by sports teams are useful for business, as partnering becomes a more significant aspect of conducting business globally.

Use of teams in the development of business goals has been problematic. As partnering becomes more necessary in global economic structures, teams are emerging as a way to conduct business.
