Answer:

e. making it harder to pursue a multidomestic strategy as compared to a global strategy.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The pitfalls or disadvantage associated with the strategic alliances is that of poor resource allocation. Loss of control over the quality, operating cost and the employees, etc.
  • Difficulties to meet the objective on deadlines and delays in policy formulations. The strategy to negotiate is very essential for the strategic alliances as the need to avoid conflicting goals.
