Same Reality,
Different Perceptions
It not only has its own knowledge specialists who
build
→
knowledge bases, but also has arranged with various corporations from
whom it obtains knowledge to supplement its own efforts.
① One type of arrangement involves buying
specialized knowledge bases from other companies. This involves
→
negotiating formally with the intention of purchasing an
intellectual
property right.
② Another arrangement involves the mutual
sharing of
knowledge by like-minded companies. These less formal arrangements have
yielded a
synergy
that has proved extremely helpful to both the concerned companies over the
long run.
The arrangement has worked for both
partnering companies because each one has been as committed to the
success of the other as to itself.
Thus the nature of the
mutual-trust relationship that exists between both the partners has been
important. Investing in a quality relationship takes time and effort but has
proved worth this time and effort for Progroup.
