Collaboration modes, preconditions, and contingencies in organizational alliance: A comparative assessment

  • To, Chester K.M.

Abstract

Collaboration indicates management intention for new competence and knowledge development by collective and inter-supportive means. From a pragmatic point of view, business organizations see collaboration as an opportunity for new competitiveness and efficiency, and public authorities also perceive collaboration as a means to prescribe unified solutions to social issues. Beyond these pragmatic views, academics' conceptions of collaboration give rise to categories of theoretic paradigms for strategic decisions. This research reviews all these perspectives.
