How might the Postal Service effectively negotiate to convince such strategic partners to ally with them in an overall competitive initiative? How might a "win-win" be created for both companies. Also view the TED Video on Open Source Economics to incorporate the notion of Open Source Innovation as a form of strategic partnership.
