1 Paragraph for each question.
2 Questions must be answered thoroughly and in detail.
1. Strategic alliance, joint venture, merger, acquisition - find one example for each of these strategies from Business Week articles -- provide the date and article title for each example. Be sure to define terms.
2. Economies of scope - define. Explain how what Taco Bell does fits this definition. Also, explain how costs are lowered and why the Taco Bell example you provided fits the definition for economy of scope. (If you prefer, you can provide answers for SunTrust Bank instead of Taco Bell.)
