References To Theories of Collaboration

Although there are very few references to a general theories of collaboration online (see External Links below), one such reference claims that any comprehensive theory of collaboration must address:

• the meaning of collaboration itself;
• the auspices under which a collaboration is convened and the role of intervention in directing social change;
• the implications of collaboration for environmental complexity and organizational control over the environment; and
• the relationship between organizations' self-interests and the collective interests present in a collaborative alliance.
