Interorganizational Relationships: A Source of Innovation in Nonprofit Organizations?
Abstract
Forming Interorganizational Relationships (IORs) has become a popular
alternative approach among nonprofit organizations to developing
competitive advantage and increasing innovative capacity. This study
examined the nature of IORs in a sample of 36 nonprofit organizations.
Specifically, it assessed the effects of four components of
interorganizational relationships: resources, information, technical
assistance, and work and/or client upon three types of innovations:
administrative, product, and process. The results indicated that the
effects of IORs on innovation vary by innovation type. Implications of
the study for research and social work practice are discussed.
