- ... Murray and Mahon (1993) discuss issues as to why strategic alliances occur. Johansson (1995) describes international strategic alliances and the reason why three types of international strategic alliances occur: distribution alliances, manufacturing alliances, and R&D tie-ups. Johansson posits that if international strategic alliances are so beneficial, why did they not emerge earlier? In answering this, he offers two propositions: firstly that international strategic alliances in R&D occur because protect technological know-how is a thing of the past.

- ... s. Mandelbrot discovered how to calculate fractal dimensions. The formula for fractal dimension is N=2D where N equals the number of copies of the original figure, which is calculated by doubling its size and D is the dimension. Mandelbrot named his creations fractals because each part is a fraction of the whole figure. The Chaos Theory describes the complex and unpredictable motion of systems that are sensitive to their initial ... dimension of this fractal is greater than a line and less than a plane, so it is between 1 and 2. To find the exact dimension, one needs to follow a simple formula: The dimension (d) of a shape is the log of the number of copies (n) that are produced when the figures sides are doubled, divided by the log of 2 (logn / log2 =d or n=2d). The dimension of Sierpinski's Triangle would be the Log of 3, because you get three copies of the triangle when you double its sides, divided by the Log of 2. ...
