Intel's Manufacturing Strategy
World's largest semiconductor company
Two dominant products:
Microprocessors
Flash memories
Multiple manufacturing sites for the
same product
Huge volumes at each site

Reasons for Semiconductor Alliances
Competitive Alliances:
share costs, resources and technology
reduce risk and time-to-market
raise customer confidence in success
improve customer sourcing position
Non-Competitive Alliances:
diversify into new business or technology
guarantee source of supply

Transfer of new technologies in both new
and existing factories accomplished in record
time
Less startup problems and faster time to
resolve them
Equal productivity from the start
One learning curve
Less problems, therefore more resources per
problem

Gemplus, Alliances and partnership
The development of alliances and partnerships is part of
Gemplus’ strategy to benefit from external sources and
competencies.
Cooperation
The co-operation agreement covers joint marketing
sales and development efforts in the smart card market.
The agreement brings together the card technology of
Gemplus with IBM’s systems capabilities and expertise,
and will involve development of multi-application cards,
for use in electronic commerce and other electronic
business transactions.

Strategic Alliances; a vital need...
Now that Gemplus has gained sufficient scope and
maturity; it is replacing its original sole financial
partners with investors from the manufacturing
and service industries who have a strategic interest
in a link up with Gemplus.

Innovating all together?
Technological Alliances
Increasing technological integration:
Data-processing and telecommunications
Micro-electronics
Composite materials and optical technologies
Increasing sectors integration:
Agriculture, chemistry and energy, telematics
and mass media
Direct or indirect covering of every potential sector

Innovating all together?
The risks: The Infeudation
In the case of an exclusive transfer,
the company can progressively increase
its dependance on the partner's technology,
and then be assimilated by him.
The risk of loosing its independence
D. ROUACH, ESCP-EAP
10.01
Innovating all together?
The risks : "the trojan horse" :
The partner can have
hidden intention
Not transferring everything he promised
to give,
Taking more than what he asked for,
Trying to weaken the company or to
increase its dependance towards him.

The future of Smart Cards businesses depends on
Partnerships
1 Build a new business environment :
Smart Card replacing Paper
Computer processing replacing manual or
semi automatic processing & Information System
New era of interactive information systems:
VISA, Master Card... or Microsoft, Oracle, Netscape, etc.
2 Card manufacturer should be able to provide complete
solutions by effective alliances withterminals providers

All we wanted was
the cash,
the nationality,
the brand name,
the patents rights,

your distribution

Keeping an Alliance Healthy
Monitor the state of the partner relationship,
and adjust payoffs and processes as you go.
Watch for "strategic space" collisions, between
alliance and parents.
Put some of your best managers in alliances
and at the partner interface. "Good cop,
bad cop" bard members.
Recognize and manage cultural differences.
Communicate, more than you think is reasonable.
Do not "micro" manage, from the parent level.
If the alliance has served its purpose, end it.

What are the alternatives?
Go it alone...
Form an alliance...

Alliances
Stand alone

An alliance is any formal arrangement between two or more
independent or organisations for purposes of mutual gain
through cooperation for a limited period of time

Forming global alliances and Network organisations
Companies try to find new competitive space and build
business outside their business column
New surprising combinations of Technology areas; more
and more converging branches
Changing configurations between companies towards
active networks
Trans cultural collaboration becomes more rule that
exception
Learning organisations are better equipped to master
the business dynamics

In general strategic alliances are underperforming
Success rate of alliances is only a meagre 30 – 40 %
Alliance-formation is not a common management skill
Underestimation of ‘soft’ aspects
(company culture, chemistry of persons, commitment)
Nevertheless sharp increase
in number of alliances is to be expected

Alliances brings management in paradoxal situation
Past way of thinking: Control + To be in control
is normal practice in business
But……
?!
Companies can’t do it all alone anymore;
too much to handle
Alliances are a way out, but at the same
time you loose control
a low ‘Comfort level’
Challenge: Increasing the level of comfort
