Types of Business-education Partnerships

Frank and Smith (1997), have suggested four classifications for business-education partnerships based on the process the partnership employs. They found that most business-education partnerships could be categorized into one of the four classifications.

  • Consultative partnerships are for the purpose of receiving public input around change or to gather ideas for policies.
  • Contributory partnerships are formed to benefit an organization or the community.
  • Operational partnerships are work-sharing arrangements in which the components of a given task are delegated to specific parties.
  • Collaborative partnerships are set up to share resources, risks and decision-making.
