From the Paper
"It was only at the end of the 1980s era, that the concept of community partnership with reference to education and all involved parties was introduced. With the growing researches and studies being done on the phenomenon, we have a boom in its application within the past three and half decades. The consistently altering and differing social and economic situations in different states is the challenge that most institutions face when trying to bridge a way for mutual and equal distribution, acknowledgment and exercise of the responsibilities in the community partnership sphere. The concept of leadership is a lot older than that of partnership and helps form interdependent contracts between the two to achieve a more balanced outlook of higher education. However, these concepts are also dependent upon the social and economic changes and structures of the community and hence are highly varying in procedures, patterns and policies for achieving a balanced outlook of community partnership (Stevenson, 1998)."

Abstract
This paper begins discussing the various types of public health partnerships. This is followed by an examination of two public health partnerships that have current projects underway. The first is "Dangerous Decibels", a partnership aimed at promoting education of hearing loss among grade school children. The second is the recent collaboration of UNAIDS (a joint United Nations project on AIDs) with several private enterprises for the purpose of fighting AIDS in Africa through a project known as "Phones for Health". A conclusion is then drawn regarding the differences between these two programs, followed by an overall assessment of the topic.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Such brick and mortar projects highlight land use and geographic considerations and therefore local politics. That makes involvement in party politics a highly salient and legitimate activity for community development organizations. Their claim to represent the interest of a geographic community further propels them into political involvement. They often find themselves mediating or directly involved in politics as partisans in inter- or intra-community conflicts. Many such conflicts mobilize local politicians who may use their control over public spending for community development to reward supporters and punish opponents."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The pace of innovation today is too fast for any one company (especially technology company) to be all things to all customers . Last year alone, for example, the US patent office awarded more than 16,000 patents to the top ten global high-tech companies for their innovations. Even a brief look at the industry's history reveals a graveyard of once successful companies that failed to adapt fast enough to industry changes. Despite its long record of success, IBM suffered a near-death experience in the early 90s. New leadership and a new strategy were instrumental in engineering IBM's turnaround, and so was the power of its alliances with more than 90,000 business partners."

Agency and Partnership, 2006.
This paper examines the laws of partnership in business.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 1 source, $ 35.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that in terms of the operation of a partnership, agency and partnership are related. This is primarily in that while in the case of agency the agent assumes no liability where the conditions of agency are properly fulfilled according to the law of agency, in the case of the operation of a partnership, the firm is liable for the actions of a partner committed in the course of the partnership business. Thus, the paper points out that in a partnership, every partner is considered the agent of the firm in the ordinary course of business and may bind the firm and the other partners in contractual relationships with third parties.

"BUILDING HOME-SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS CAN SUPPORT
CHILDREN WHO STRUGGLE WITH LITERACY INTRODUCTION
While levels of achievement are not always empirically correlated with parental involvement, research consistently demonstrates the importance of parental commitment in their child's education (Finn 1998; Lazar and Slostad 1999). This research paper investigated the efficacy of home-school partnerships for the support of children who struggle with literacy. Since literacy continues to be a topic of concern, and studies show that effort is required to maximize parental interest in education, an investigation into the efficacy of home school partnerships for support of childhood learning was warranted (Cassidy and Wenrich 1999; Lazar and Slostad 1999)."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"How all these spending categories relate to alliances and partnerships, is that the higher the order velocities, the greater the time pressures on product lifecycles as is the case in the electronics industry, the more accentuated the need for stable partnerships and alliances. The growth of partnerships and alliances and the corresponding complexity of these interrelationships of suppliers, buyers, manufacturers and service providers forces the need for the development of an entirely new approach to defining these interdependencies. The creation of Value Service Architectures is a direct result of the need to illustrate these partnership intricacies and the resulting interdependencies."

Abstract
Effective financial planning for many professionals and other affluent taxpayers today requires a thorough understanding of what business forms are available and which are most appropriate for families.

To this end, this paper provides a review of the relevant literature to determine when a family limited partnership is appropriate. It analyzes the pertinent laws including an examination of the Internal Revenue Code, regulations, case law and other rulings and matters that are relevant to a family limited partnership in general and tax planning in particular. A summary of the research and salient findings are presented in the conclusion.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"While laws vary from state to state, many states treat a limited partner's creditor the same as an assignee that therefore has no vote in the partnership and no interest in its management or assets. Consequently, these creditors are only entitled to receive the distributions to which the debtor-partner would be entitled (up to the amount of the debt); however, even in these cases, the partnership agreement can provide that the general partner must reinvest partnership distributions in the partnership for "reasonable business needs" (Dedon, 1991, p. 61). Therefore, these types of creditors may be forced to wait for their distributions while continuing to report and pay income tax on money that has not been received; likewise, creditors of limited partnership general partners do not have any rights to partnership property to satisfy their claims against the general partners (Dedon, 1991).

Building Strategic Partnerships and Trust in the Supply Chain, 2002.
A paper which investigates the economic importance of building strategic partnerships between an organization and its suppliers.

»

Abstract
A strategic alliance is a partnership between two organizations for a specific purpose. One common alliance is between an organization and its suppliers. This paper shows the reasons that problems occur in strategic alliances as being cultural differences, poor communication and opportunism. It shows too that one way to build trust in a partnership, is to ensure that these problems are prevented. Understanding the importance of respect and value and having the right corporate culture are also vital in allowing trusting strategic partnerships to exist and grow. The paper offers solutions for these problems.
From the Paper
"For an agreement to be successful, each side of the agreement must feel as important as the other. If one side attempts to take control over the other, this only makes the agreement weaker, as the other organization begins to become resentful and begins to give less to the agreement. For an agreement to be successful both organizations must enter into it with the attitude that it is a partnership and not a competition. For the people involved in the partnership, there can often be a unconscious need to take control over the other organization, this is a natural reaction to being in the competitive world of business. To counteract this, it must be continually stressed to people involved with the partnership, that the partnership is an equal one for the benefit of both parties. The other organization should be seen as an extension of the first organization, rather than as a separate organization."

Abstract
This paper presents the work of Moss-Kanter on managing partnerships. The author relates that the key to handling cultural differences is to expect them and to deal with them as they occur.

Opportunism

Excess Competition
From the Paper
"Opportunism occurs when one of the companies wants more and seeks opportunities that do not involve the other company. One example is if the supplier company made an arrangement with another company as an exclusive supplier. This situation would leave the purchase company without a supplier. One way to avoid this is to treat the supplier like a partner, making sure that both parties benefit from the relationship."

Business Partnerships, 2007.
This paper discusses the effective management of business partnerships and alliances.

Abstract
This paper explains that the cornerstone for analyzing the many partnerships between companies, distribution partners and services organizations needs to first start with the definition of contingencies across partnership networks. The author points out that the structure of contingency-based models needs to include the "five lenses", which are formality, power, risk, structure and time-frame. The paper stresses that, for any organization to create sustainable value and differentiation, which transcend product generations and pricing strategies, there needs to be a strategic focus on achieving balance throughout the "value partner architecture framework". The paper includes a figure describing the "value partner architecture framework".

Analyzing Value Partner Architecture Frameworks using the Five Lenses Model
From the Paper
"The next logical step to take with any model of partnership is to test its role in the context of global competitiveness. As cultures globally have significantly different approaches to defining formality, power, risk and structure, and consequently have major differences in their view of time as well. These five factors that comprise the Five Lenses in turn exacerbate the power distances as defined by Geert Hofstede in his award-winning work on power distances and the wide variations in specific areas of the Five Lenses as they relate to partnership planning, execution and management."

What Parents Around the World Want
From the Paper
"Further obstacles for secondary teachers include the students' increased need for autonomy for the secondary school age group, and the nature of the class structure and curriculum. Middle school and high school teachers both teach large numbers of students each class period, and they may teach over 100 different students within one day. Therefore, they are, less likely to be personally involved with the student or the family. The academic work for this age group may be beyond the parents' capability, limiting their ability to assist the student. Parents may not believe that they are able to help their children. It is concluded that further understanding of the parent's role and overcoming assumptions about parent involvement are necessary to promote collaboration between the parent and teacher (Lazar and Slostad)."

Part I - Subject
From a legal perspective, there are three common types of business organizational forms: sole proprietorship, partnership and corporation.

Review and Analysis
Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to Fiore (1994), taxpayers in general and affluent taxpayers in particular are always on the lookout for new ways to reduce their taxes, especially in the area of estate planning. For this purpose, taxpayers have a wide range of choices available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages depending on a taxpayer's unique circumstances. For instance, "Should a taxpayer incorporate a complex strategy such as a grantor-retained annuity trust," Harmelick and Vandenburgh (2001) ask, "a dynasty trust or a family limited partnership in his estate plan?" (p. 95)."

"Beyond the foregoing considerations involving the selection of appropriate structures, funding mechanisms and the tax advantages of using family limited partnerships as a business form, Crayne (2001) emphasizes that the implications of the personal use of partnership property by one or more partners for income tax purposes remains uncertain. In the corporate context, the preponderance of the precedential law to date suggests that the personal use of corporate-owned property may result in deemed income or dividends to certain shareholders; however, the authoritative guidance on the income tax implications of the personal use of corporate-owned property may not be completely relevant to the personal use of partnership-owned property because, under state law, all partners in the family limited partnership have an equal right to use all partnership property (Crayne, 2001)."
