approach competitiveness | recognizing specific regional strengths | positioning through being different

MOST COMMON REASONS (CONS)• Unequal distribution of power among partners
causing distrust; no long term impacts • Lack of credibility of any partner may
jeopardize entire project • Lack of human resources – come up with
realistic goals • False expectations – dissatisfaction with
achieved results• No common plan - partners going into different
directions;• No real support at the highest level – no
results• Lack of trust among partners - hard to
compensate with control mechanisms
