Collaboration in action: An uncertain process.
Abstract
Offers a framework of necessary conditions for getting to
collaboration. A process model is presented that identifies both the
conditions and steps under which people can understand their
interdependence and what collaboration entails. Based on an analysis
of several successful and failed case studies in different policy
contexts, the article integrates real-life examples to illustrate the
complexities practitioners face as they navigate through the often
fragile and tedious process of collaboration. The article concludes by
offering several theoretical propositions leading to testable
hypotheses that may be useful in choosing an appropriate resolution
strategy. It includes implications for theory building and for
practice. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2007 APA, all rights
