Answer to Question 1

Firms enter into collaborative arrangements for various reasons. Spreading and reducing costs is a common reason. Second, a firm often seeks to improve performance by concentrating on those activities that best fit its competencies, depending on other firms to supply it with products, services, or support activities for which it has lesser competency. Companies may band together so as not to compete. Companies also may combine certain resources to combat larger and more powerful competitors. There are potential cost savings and supply assurances from vertical integration. Horizontal links may provide finished products or components. Many companies pursue collaborative arrangements to learn about a partner's technology, operating methods, or home market so that their own competencies will broaden or deepen, making them more competitive in the future. The major strains on collaborative arrangements are due to five factors: collaboration's importance to partners, differing objectives, control problems, partners' contributions and appropriations, and differences in culture.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
