Strategicmisrepresentation is the planned, systematic distortion or misstatement of fact lying in response to incentives in the budget process. Examples of strategicmisrepresentation in budgeting illustrate that it is a contingent strategy responsive to a system of rewards in a highly competitive game where resource constraints are present. Jones and Euske, 1991 Mechanics Not all budget advocacy requires or involves misrepresentation, nor is all budgetary strategy intended to misrepresent. Strategicmisrepresentation is a predictable response to the incentive structure of the budgetary game see also principal agent problem it is used because it works under some circumstances. It is used both by budget advocates and controllers and at times by both sides of the left right political spectrum. Jones and Euske, 1991 Economic Research Jones and Euske 1991 identified thirteen budget process factors that appear to stimulate strategicmisrepresentation in budgeting and provide examples to demonstrate under which conditions the budget process factors result in strategicmisrepresentation. The study concludes that no amount of moral handwringing over the evils of strategicmisrepresentation is likely to lessen the practice. Rather, the system of incentives that propels strategicmisrepresentation requires analysis and reform if the behavior is to be discouraged. Jones and Euske, 1991 Flyvbjerg et al. 2002 found that strategicmisrepresentation explains widespread cost overrun in public works projects. Flyvbjerg 2008 described how strategicmisrepresentation may be reduced by improved incentive alignment and reference class forecasting . ref http www.sbs.ox.ac.uk centres bt Documents Curbing 20Optimism 20Bias 20and 20Strategic 20Misrepresentation.pdf Flyvbjerg, B., 2008, Curbing Optimism Bias and StrategicMisrepresentation in Planning Reference Class Forecasting in Practice.

unreferenced date March 2008 A strategic partnership is a formal alliance between two commercial enterprises, usually formalized by one or more business contracts but falls short of forming a legal partnership or, agency, or corporate affiliate relationship. Typically two companies form a strategic partnership when each possesses one or more business assets that will help the other, but that each respective other does not wish to develop internally. One common strategic partnership involves one company providing engineering , manufacturing or product development services, partnering with a smaller, entrepreneurial firm or inventor to create a specialized new product. Typically, the larger firm supplies Financial capital capital , and the necessary product development, marketing , manufacturing, and distribution capabilities, while the smaller firm supplies specialized technical or creative expertise. Another common strategic partnership involves a supplier manufacturer partnering with a distributor or wholesale consumer. Rather than approach the transactions between the companies as a simple link in the product or service supply chain , the two companies form a closer relationship where they mutually participate in advertising, marketing, branding, product development, and other business functions. As examples, an automotive manufacturer may form strategic partnerships with its parts suppliers, or a music distributor with record labels. There can be many advantages to creating strategic partnerships. As Robert M. Grant 2008, p. 44 states in his book Contemporary Strategy Analysis , For complete strategies, as opposed to individual projects, creating option value means positioning the firm such that a wide array of opportunities become available .

A strategic move in game theory is an action taken by a player outside the defined actions of the game in order to gain a strategic advantage and increase one s payoff. The key characteristics of a strategic move are that it involves a commitment from the player, meaning the player can only restrict her own choices, and that the commitment has to be credible , meaning that once employed it must be in the interest of the player to follow through with the move. The term was coined by Thomas Schelling in his 1960 book, The Strategy of Conflict , and has gained wide currency in political science and industrial organization .
