Abstract: | This paper uses the D'Cruz/Rugman Five Partners model to show how France Telecom has effectively partnered with suppliers, customers, competitors, and the non-business infrastructure to develop France's telecommunications cluster. The Five Partners Model is a cooperation-based framework for organizing economic activity to create international competitiveness for globally oriented firms. It is compared to the more traditinal competition-based framework used by multinational corpotations. A contrast is drawn between Alcatel and France Telecom in their attempts to craft national, regional and eventually global strategies for competitiveness in telecommunications. |
