Summary: Machiavelli warned against enlisting foreign troops, stating in chapter 13 of The Prince that it would ultimately spell defeat for one's own kingdom. This program explores the role of outsourcing and strategic alliances on the path to success - although, despite the risk of aiding potential competitors, modern leaders find more benefit in these practices than did Machiavelli. With LEGO chairman Mads Øvlisen, who envisions companies like his working together "in a galaxy of alliances" that fosters innovation, and Torben Ballegaard Sørensen, Dr. Ulrich Bez, Garry Kasparov, Stan Shih, Richard Valdemar, and Bruce Cohen.
