Problem:
If you were advising the US Postal Service on seeking out strategic partners to help them augment their e-commerce strategies and overall value proposition, which strategic partners would you choose and why? What role would the strategic partner play in the overall value proposition of the Postal Service. What value would you hope to be generated from this collaboration? How might the Postal Service effectively negotiate to convince such strategic partners to ally with them in an overall competitive initiative? How might a "win-win" be created for both companies.
