Despite the increasing number of strategic alliances worldwide, a significant part of strategic partnerships in business practice are unsuccessful. The aim of the article is to analyze and evaluate the critical success factors of strategic partnerships in business through the prism of the motives and the process of their formation. The research methods used in the paper are literary review and comparative analysis.
