Great reference to Ben Franklin to show how even in such a historical event, there was an emphasis on being communicative and being collaborative with others. A strategic alliance has seen many different interpretations in the past few decades because it could mean that there is much collaboration or optimal peer to peer involvement.
Survival of the Fittest does not necessarily mean that the strongest and biggest survive, but those willing to adapt will find that they are able to progress faster. This is relatable to inter-organizational strategic alliances because people have taken these out of context as well and to avoid this collaboration is essential for being very productive.
Collaboration should be evident to young children so they make get a sense of what it means to work with each other instead of keeping the old tradition of being alone or working by yourself. The myths portrayed by Rambo and things of that nature show that we have not made much progress to work together instead of being a "lone wolf".
Strategic relationships are also capable of creating trust between collaborators and thus forming a relationship that may carry into other endeavors. Self-interest can be dangerous because it creates a sense of uneasiness that hurts the relationship because instead of wanting what is best for the relationship they would look to what is best for themselves and end up hurting this network.
The power of being able to come together shows how great collaboration can be and how it can help further the way we perceive the world and once we greatly help one another then we will be one step closer to creating a closer connection to people.
