Isn’t it human nature to think of competition as a battlefield, with rivals as opponents? But what if companies, fiercely battling for market share, decided to team up? It sounds strange, right? Remember when Apple and Microsoft, practically polar opposites, actually worked together? Or airlines, fighting for every passenger, create alliances that span continents.
