What is a Partnership? • A partnership is a relationship where two or more parties, having compatible goals, form an agreement to share the work, share the risk and share the results or proceeds. • Partnership implies the sharing of decisionmaking, risks, power, benefits and burdens. It should add value to each partner's respective services, products or situations. • In partnerships, there is give and take.
