GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Kooperation
English translation:strategic alliance

German term or phrase: Kooperationen
If I'm not terribly mistaken, the term "cooperations" is found only in bad translations. Would cooperative relationships work?

Da wir nicht flächendeckend in Deutschland mit einer Niederlassungsstruktur vertreten sind haben wir uns in den verschiedenen Gebieten mit Kooperationspartnern zusammengeschlossen. Zu diesen Unternehmen bestehen bereits längerfristige Beziehungen der unterschiedlichsten Art. Projekte dieser Größenordnung werden weiter in Deutschland zunehmen. Einflüsse aus dem Anglo-Amerikanischen Raum machen sich hier bemerkbar. Wir sind der Meinung das man diese Herausforderung nur mit vernünftigen Kooperationen begegnen kann.

disagree  Alison Schwitzgebel: A "Kooperation" isn't always a joint venture. A JV can also be a separate legal entity.
