Amazing Tips to Learn from the “Major Leagues” of Joint Ventures.

One of the companies who pulled successful joint ventures is Microsoft. The company, headed once by Bill Gates, has not only pooled talents from different countries but from different sectors to develop computer technology. Microsoft did not only sourced out innovation from in-house engineers, but also by-contract designers and manufacturers, university scientists and technology suppliers from China, Switzerland, Japan and India. This joint venture is popular to consultants as innovation networks and Microsoft calls it the Microsoft Lab.

In this Lab, the company explores boundless research and development to create a product. From the operating systems like Vista to Xbox consoles. It is a facility where the joint venture is physically obvious. The Microsoft Lab in China is one and accommodates 500 engineers, PhD students, visiting professors and suppliers. The China Lab studies, invents and tests graphics, handwriting recognition and voice-synthesizing technologies. One of 72 innovations is the digital ink, which tablet PCs now used.

Thanks to globalization and Internet! Outsourcing works opened faster and more innovative joint venture. Companies now could search and ink joint for joint venture agreements on intellectual properties to produce a new product.
