In some of the organizations described in this
chapter, managers form alliances with various partners. These alliance firms
may provide a virtual component for your organization. However, the employees
involved in this alliance do work for two different firms. How does a manager
manage under these conditions? Suppose that your firm enters into a
relationship with another firm to take over its inventory of raw materials and
to become a just-in-time supplier. The partner firm hires your former inventory
employees so they no longer work directly for you. Describe the role of a
manager in working with an alliance partner that provides you with a virtual

advice would you give Hershey and Sherman? What are the pros and cons of
