Businesses
that partner together, profit together
An increasing number of mid-sized and small businesses in Indiana and across the nation have found that they can boost their market clout by forging strategic partnerships -- just like the biggest companies have been doing for years. A recent Arthur Andersen study indicates that as many as 20% of U.S. small businesses currently use strategic alliances to increase sales. According to the latest Price waterhouse Cooper survey of small to mid-sized companies (under $50 million in sales), the companies that used collaborative alliances were more likely to launch innovative products, achieve faster revenue growth and see their investments returned more quickly. More than 2,000 Indiana businesses are able to tap the power of business networking through the Roster Network, which puts the resources of a strategic partnership at the disposal of companies throughout the state. The companies that make up the network pool their expertise to provide CPA and consulting services; MIS and telecommunications; finance; compliance services; quality management and OSO/QS registration; human resources, training and recruiting; sales promotion and strategy; and communications to customers and employees.
For Indiana businesses, this network of just-in-time service delivery is a great equalizer, allowing them to compete with even the largest firms. For information, call Roster Network President John King at (219) 436-6330.
