Strategic Partnership
A strategic partnership is a commercial agreement in which two companies combine capabilities, distribution or technology without a merger.
Why It Matters
Partnerships move faster than acquisitions and avoid regulatory review, but they leave both sides dependent on terms that can be renegotiated.
