Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Operating with a short-term time horizon is not considered a strategic alliance success factor because alliances are typically formed with a long-term view. Short-term focus can undermine the alliance's overall purpose and lead to a breakdown in trust between partners. All the other options (having a clear strategic purpose, agreeing on an exit strategy, minimizing conflicts, identifying risks) are essential to the success of strategic alliances.
