Olivier Chatain, Associate Professor of Strategy and Business Policy and Elena Plaksenkova , PhD student in Strategy and Business Policy
NGOs and commercial firms often form partnerships. What is it that drives these alliances and who really benefits? Olivier Chatain, Associate Professor of Strategy and Business Policy and Elena Plaksenkova , PhD student in Strategy and Business Policy, created a theoretical model to understand these collaborations better. They find that NGOs make trade-offs, and commercial firms are often disappointed with the outcomes.
