Creating a Strategic Center to Manage a Web of Partners
Abstract
Successful networks of partners are typically guided by a strong strategic center which is far more than a broker and organizer of contacts. This article examines three special features of the activities of successful central firms: their ability to create value for themselves and their partners, the agenda and core competencies they develop, and the capacity to be innovative by simultaneous strategizing and structuring.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
