▼ This study probes the unique motivations of federal workers to collaborate across agency borders. The Government Results and Performance Act Modernization Act (GPRAMA, 2010) mandated greater
collaboration among agencies; GPRAMA, along with the well-documented institutional challenges of horizontal
collaboration within highly bureaucratic cultures, there is great need for empirical studies to advance theoretical development. Such cross-boundary studies are often conducted under the umbrella of network theory; however, they have generally explored
collaboration across different levels of government (i.e., Federal, state, and local), across sectors (public, private, and non-profit), or among private-sector businesses. My research, while likewise exploring multi-organizational
collaboration, is situated within the specific context of public-to-public interorganizational
collaboration among executive branch agencies – entities with generally equal standing. Moreover, I will be studying interagency working groups that exemplify action (Agranoff, 2007), transformational (O'Toole, 2014), or orchestrated (Müller-Seitz, 2012; Provan and Kenis, 2008)
networks. Interagency working groups are created expressly for the purpose of solving a collective problem, with support from an organizing entity such as the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.
My study adopts from network theory the premise that organizations purposefully working together can achieve better results jointly than independently (O'Toole, 1997; Agranoff and McGuire, 2003; Koliba, et al. 2010; Keast, et al., 2014). It also draws from the few empirical studies of mostly public-public collaborative efforts that currently exist (Jensen, 2017; Scott and Thomas, 2015; Fountain, 2013b; Lambert, et. al, 2013; Bardach, 1998; Lynch, 1997; Raach and Kass, 1995; Guetzkow, 1950). The earliest study (Guetzkow, 1950) focused on bureaucratic processes such as frequency and duration of meetings and tightness of agendas, finding that 55 to 60 percent of judged effectiveness was not associated with any of the factors studied. Both Raach and Kass (1995) and Lambert, Lewis and Seawall (2013) posited that interagency efforts were riddled with ad hoc processes and personality-driven deliberations, and that inexperienced leaders tended to decrease group effectiveness. Thus, they stressed the criticality of having effective processes in place (a notion that goes back to Hult and Walcott, 1990) for the crises that will inevitably erupt. Bardach (1998) acknowledged the barriers to interagency
collaboration, but also highlighted "value creating opportunities" (p. 53) that could motivate individuals to contribute to the collective effort. His empirical data suggested that, while good leadership helps, it is not essential. Fountain (2013) lamented the lack of empirical studies to help advance cross-agency
collaboration theory, but pointed to "narratives of promising practice" (p. 109). It is widely accepted that trust and attraction (i.e., "relational allegiances," Bryson, Crosby and Stone,…

▼ This study explore the linkages or partnerships that
companies across the EU and a defend set of emerging market
economies have in either a formal or informal manner. The research
aims to understand the correlation of these linkages and a firm’s
ability in innovate. Empirically this research is set out to
determine if there are differences in a firm’s ability to innovate
based on the structure of the linkage, i.e. formal or informal. The
study extends to understand the impact that the economic downturn
had had on these linkages and what impact, if any has filtered
through to the firm’s ability to innovate.The central argument is
that firms with linkages benefit but being more nimble innovators
and therefore both formal and informal linkages are very good for
business and an organizations ability to innovate.Chi squared and
t-tests were run on the responses of the firms belonging to the
export or domestic categories. The results overwhelmingly suggest
that in respect of innovativeness, the domestic suppliers do not
differ from those that opt to export into the developed world.
However the firms belonging to the domestic group differ
considerably with regards to who they collaborate with for their
innovations when compared to the export group.

▼ Great innovations seldom come from a single individual or firm. Rather, entire networks of people, usually sponsored by many firms drive great innovation, innovation that is rarely captured in a single product or service, but an entire platform sponsored by an ecosystem of firms. Many of these innovative platforms are guided by a visible hand, coalitions of firms that coordinate and collaborate. One such “visible hand” is the multipartner alliance, a collection of tens, hundreds, or even thousands of firms assembled to collaboratively define, develop, and promote innovation. While much research in collaborative innovation assumes homogenously available benefits and an exogenously determined appropriation of these benefits, this dissertation assumes heterogeneity and explores the degree to which benefits may be endogenously determined. The benefit of interest is a firm’s own innovation productivity based on technologies defined by the multipartner alliance. In studying firm actions, choices, and characteristics as they relate to participating in multipartner alliances, I examine the relationships between a firm’s innovation productivity and its entry timing, value-chain position, level of membership, contribution, timing of contribution, and size. These are tested primarily using hierarchical negative binomial regression and an original dataset developed in cooperation with the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, a multipartner alliance of over 12,000 firms interested in defining, developing, and promoting short range wireless technology. Empirical findings suggest support of heterogeneity in the availability of benefits and a degree of endogeneity in how they are appropriated.

▼ Les Programmes Cadres de Recherche et développement technologique (PCRDT) sont les principaux instruments dont dispose l’Union Européenne (UE) pour, d’une part favoriser la recherche et l’innovation sur le territoire européen et améliorer la compétitivité des firmes européennes, d’autre part faire émerger un Espace Européen de la Recherche (EER). Les collaborations formées entre les acteurs de la recherche et l’innovation, grâce aux projets financés par les PCRDT, forment des réseaux complexes. L’objectif de la thèse est de montrer de quelle manière l’analyse réseau constitue une perspective intéressante pour mieux appréhender les PCRDT et évaluer l’impact des politiques d’innovations de l’UE. Cette analyse permet à la fois d’examiner les propriétés de la structure des collaborations formées dans le cadre des PCRDT et de rendre comptedes déterminants des collaborations au sein de ces programmes. Les travaux menés dans la thèse portent sur deux domaines technologiques, issus de la thématique Information Society Technology (IST) du 6ème PCRDT et qui sont des domaines clés de l’innovation dans l’UE : les Télécommunications et l’Electronique-Microélectronique. Dans un premier temps, nous étudions les réseaux formés par les collaborations entre agents dans les deux domaines technologiques retenus ainsi que dans le réseau agrégé de ces deux domaines. Nous nous intéressons aux propriétés générales de ces réseaux et cherchonsà vérifier s’ils possèdent les propriétés des “small-world networks” reconnus dans la littérature comme des réseaux favorisant l’innovation. De plus, nous observons si ces réseaux évoluent de manière positive dans le temps. Après avoir étudié les réseaux de manière globale, nous nous intéressons aux agents qui composent le réseau en montrant notamment l’existence de “hubs”. Dans le cadre de cette analyse, nous sélectionnons les indcateurs adéquats et si nécessaire mettons ne place de nouveaux indicateurs comme le degré renforcé. Nous menons ainsi une analyse à deux niveaux : au niveau macroéconomiqueet au niveau microéconomique. Enfin, nous construisons des réseaux agrégés au niveau des régions afin de ne pas étudier seulement les réseaux de collaborations au niveau des agents mais aussi au niveau des territoires. De cette manière, il est possible d’observer dans quelle mesure les PCRDT impulsent un développement harmonieux de l’innovation au sein de l’UE.Dans un second temps, nous nous concentrons sur les déterminants qui peuvent inciter deux agents à collaborer. Pour cela, nous nous intéressons plus particulièrement aux agents qui ont déjà une expérience dans les PCRDT. Parmi ces déterminants, on retrouve ceux de la littérature traditionnelle comme les moyens en R&D, la proximité géographique,. . . En outre, nous mettons également en exergue le rôle prépondérant joué par les réseaux de la période précédente dans les choix de
collaboration et la constitution des réseaux présents. Nous étudions à la fois l’existence d’une
collaboration entre deux agents mais aussi l’intensité de ces collaborations.…

▼ The shift from analog to digital modes of production and distribution and the emergence of new and hybrid radio forms have presented challenges that many believed radio would not survive. To do so, it has been forced to integrate a variety of changes from the relationship between audiences and producers, to the way radio practitioners collaborate to co-create content. This study seeks to bring new knowledge to the currently under documented area of collaborative radio production. It does so using a two-phase process. The first phase employs an Action Research approach to study the production of 3 separate radio projects using a specially developed online content management system (ROAR). The second phase uses a Case Study methodology and Sonnenwald’s Four Stages of Collaboration framework to structure data into narrative format, prior to subjecting it to thematic analysis. Subsequently, cross case data comparison is used to develop a theoretically informed and empirically grounded framework, outlining how aspects of work organization can enable (or hinder) the development and successful completion of small-scale, collaborative radio projects. The study also extrapolates on some of the practical applications of this knowledge.

▼ This study describes how firms in the agro
processing industry within South Africa vary in terms of their
types of innovation based on whether or not the firm exports into a
developed context or supplies only into the local South African
market. In conjunction with this the research attempts to describe
who these firms engage with in order to develop their most
significant innovations. Empirically this research set out to
establish whether or not exporting firms differed considerably with
regards to how they innovate relative to firms which only supply
into the regional domestic market. This could provide insights as
to whether either group could learn from one another and develop a
collaborative relationship whereby a mutually reinforcing
innovative model could be developed to support overall industry
growth. The central argument here is, given that the agro
processing industry employs a large portion of the South African
work force, any innovations which can create long term sustainable
volume growth for the industry need to be taken advantage of. Thus
not only does the South African agro processing industry need to
develop innovative
networks domestically but also
internationally.Chi squared and t-test were run on the responses of
the firms belonging to the export or domestic categories. The
results overwhelmingly suggest that in respect of innovativeness,
the domestic suppliers do not differ from those that opt to export
into the developed world. However the firms belonging to the
domestic group differ considerably with regards to who they
collaborate with for their innovations when compared to the export
group.

▼ In the past thirty or so years, an increasing number of organisations have formed business-to-business relationships as an alternative to traditional market exchange. Much of the literature in this area focuses on the nature of dyadic relationships or vertical networks between heterogeneous businesses in a supply chain. Far less research has examined how competitors interact at a network level, and, more specifically, why these organisations would choose to engage in collaborative marketing. This thesis examines the nature of horizontal networks and collaborative marketing in the context of the Tasmanian wine industry. It uses network theory to explore the phenomena of inter-producer relationships within a specific wine region of Australia. The research is guided by the following questions: why do Tasmanian wine producers join horizontal networks, what types of collaborative marketing do Tasmanian wine producers engage in within horizontal networks, and what factors affect collaborative marketing between Tasmanian wine producers in horizontal networks.
Qualitative data were gathered via in-depth interviews with firstly, industry informants, and secondly, individual wine producing businesses. These data were supplemented with information drawn from websites, industry publications, and news sources. A key aim of the study was to explore how horizontal networks are perceived by Tasmanian wine producers, and to what extent these businesses engage in collaborative marketing. Analysis of the data revealed that there are three horizontal networks within the Tasmanian wine industry, which are all of a formal nature. While these networks share a similar purpose, there was divergence between how successful each network‟s attempts at collaborative marketing had been. Furthermore, certain horizontal networks in the industry boasted higher levels of member trust, commitment, mutual benefit, and camaraderie. These factors have led to differences in the way each network is perceived, and the benefits of collaboration each offers. Parallels between Tasmania‟s only state-wide industry association and the state‟s largest sub-regional network, have resulted in some conflict and rivalry which, going forward, may restrict the implementation of collaborative marketing at a state-wide level.

▼ This study describes how firms in the agro processing
industry within South Africa vary in terms of their types of
innovation based on whether or not the firm exports into a
developed context or supplies only into the local South African
market. In conjunction with this the research attempts to describe
who these firms engage with in order to develop their most
significant innovations. Empirically this research set out to
establish whether or not exporting firms differed considerably with
regards to how they innovate relative to firms which only supply
into the regional domestic market. This could provide insights as
to whether either group could learn from one another and develop a
collaborative relationship whereby a mutually reinforcing
innovative model could be developed to support overall industry
growth. The central argument here is, given that the agro
processing industry employs a large portion of the South African
work force, any innovations which can create long term sustainable
volume growth for the industry need to be taken advantage of. Thus
not only does the South African agro processing industry need to
develop innovative
networks domestically but also
internationally.Chi squared and t-test were run on the responses of
the firms belonging to the export or domestic categories. The
results overwhelmingly suggest that in respect of innovativeness,
the domestic suppliers do not differ from those that opt to export
into the developed world. However the firms belonging to the
domestic group differ considerably with regards to who they
collaborate with for their innovations when compared to the export
group.

▼ This research has been done in order to describe patterns of interaction and collaboration in an information exchange network of researchers and track them through time. Data were gathered through a small scale online survey among researchers Participating in such a network (eBerea project). A network analysis was performed with UCINET, studying the ties of interaction and collaboration among the participants. The analysis focused on the cohesion, tie strength, prominence and range as measures of the network, as the ones related with the information exchange among them. In order to track the changes in the structure, the current results were compared with previous research conducted at the initial stage of the network. Results highlighted issues related to collaboration among different universities and different countries, such as homophily, geographical proximity and intra-institutional focus constraint. Even though results are not generalizable, they can serve as a basis for comparison for future research in order to explore further dynamics and mechanisms of collaboration and interaction in the network.

▼ Despite decades of research into human social behavior, mechanisms that allow collaborations between scientists to form and thrive are not well understood. Surveys, interviews, and studies of laboratories inform most of what is known about
collaboration; yet each method has limited scalability. Studies of extensive co-authorship
networks offer an alternative approach; yet they tend to focus on only a few features or features of a certain type. Our understanding of
collaboration has thus been muddled by two oversights. First, limited, biased samples (those restricted by size, scope, or dimension) lead to conclusions that might not generalize. Second, surveys and interviews do not necessarily capture reality, because people do not always do what they say they do.
The present study overcomes these problems using an approach complementary to field study. First-time co-authors (with mutually exclusive publishing histories) reflect collaborative formation at scale – represented herein by ~1.4 million papers in PubMed in the period 1988 to 2009. With these data, collaborative formation and its "success" are modeled to assess the influence of several explanatory factors, including topics, personal characteristics, affiliations, citations (direct and indirect), and co-authorship network. Similarity, nearness, and complementarity are encoded in 30 base features that capture obvious as well as indirect connections between people.
Results show that all the factors influence collaborative formation to varying degrees. Topical similarities dominate. Scientists rarely (2%) form collaborations with people who have never published on the same or similar topics or journals. Personal characteristics are second in influence; but their effect is more complex, because they combine elements that are similar (such as ethnicity and gender) with those that are complementary and change over time (such as professional age). Affiliation is third, for which the effect of shared institution type and geolocation (city, US state, or country) is positive. Citation is fourth. Direct citation (citation of one author by another) and indirect citation (in the form of co-citation) both have positive influence on collaborative formation. The co-authorship network is last; and its overall effect is minuscule. Scientists are more likely to form collaborations with others outside their overlapping co-authorship
networks. Even when collaborations form within a co-authorship network (with the friend of a friend), other factors (such as topical and personal characteristics) are more influential in co-author selection.
"Success" about a newly formed
collaboration is coded in two different ways in this study: by "relative impact" of a paper (whether it has an above-average number of citations for its journal and year of publication) and by the "longevity" of the
collaboration (whether the collaborators have at least one future paper together). The models of collaborative success show that all factors influence success and that the co-authorship network is…

▼ Drawing from organizational ecology, network, and
economic sociology theories, our study investigates how the
mechanisms of collective identity construction and resource sharing
contribute to the formation of various structural tendencies at the
community level. Here, community is defined as an aggregation of
the network of inter-organizational ties. Community also consists
of various organizational forms connected by commensalistic and
symbioticrelations. These interdependencies are manifested in a
number of interaction patterns reflecting the macrostructure of the
community. Using the U. S. film industry as our empirical context,
we analyze
collaboration networks among film producers at two
points in time - 1985 and 2005 – to examine these interaction
patterns. Our findings suggest that both collective identity
construction and research sharing mechanisms explain decentralized,
polycentric structuraltendencies of the film producer community.;
In addition, generalists that are highly diversified tend not to
collaborate with each other. They also are less likely to
collaborate with specialists within a narrow technological space.
Collaboration is most likely to occur among producers that are
moderately diversified and have greater technological distance from
each other. In addition, we found that producers differing in
cultural identity are not precluded from
collaboration with each
other, which is especially true for member organizations from the
dominant population. High-reputation producers tend to attract more
collaborative partners, but they tend to cooperate only with other
high reputationpartners. Just as status-based competition is
localized (Podolny, 1993; 1994), status-based cooperation is also
localized to the extent that producers tend to interact with those
who are in similar status categories. Community structure exhibits
such tendencies and becomes polycentric and clustered around
different status categories. Our findings resonate with Fligstein’s
(2001) political-cultural approach to the market.

▼ Professional
networks are being used increasingly in healthcare to overcome problems of working within a system fragmented by professional “tribes,” and organisational and geographic boundaries. Such
networks are thought to encourage the bridging of these boundaries, leading to greater
collaboration. Research about how this is achieved does not yet give a comprehensive picture of network processes and the role of key actors. This thesis used a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, primarily social network analysis, to explore the network structure and the role of key players within a representative network. The network was a new translational research network (TRN) based in Sydney, Australia that sought to drive
collaboration between university-based researchers and hospital-based clinicians to translate biomedical research into clinical practice. The thesis asked the following questions: what is the structure of collaborative ties within this network? Who are the key players in this network? Do the formal, mandated leaders of this network recognise the potential held in their network positions? TRN documentation, semi-structured interviews with the 14 governing body members, and a systematic review of brokerage roles in collaborative
networks gave context, and informed the design of the social network survey. An on-line, whole network survey was used to collect demographic and relationship data from all 68 members in early 2012 as well as opinions on aspects of the network. Geographic location was a significant factor determining patterns of
collaboration. Central actors identified by analysis of network data mostly matched members’ perceptions of powerful and influential players but identified brokers were not perceived as such. Mandated leaders were found to have key network positions and recognised their significance in terms of facilitative activities. The thesis shows empirically the influence of “silos” on
collaboration and that the network may increase connectivity between them. Secondly it shows the hidden identity of brokers in the healthcare setting. This confirmed that network interventions based on role support for key players can only be realised if the brokers are accurately identified. Thirdly it shows that mandated leaders in the network understand their roles and activities in a way that reflects their network potential.

▼ Networks enable organizations to work together in a way that helps solve social issues too large to be handled by single groups. This dissertation explores the way in which food security organizations collaborate in the New River Valley of Virginia and the ways in which this
collaboration is impacted by geography. The findings suggest that geography is often an unclear concept that is conflated with multiple concepts such as organizational politics, client issues, and cultural boundaries, and that overcoming these barriers can be accomplished when goal congruence occurs.

▼ À medida que a inovação se torna um ponto fundamental para a agregação de valor das empresas, o seu gerenciamento torna-se uma ferramenta essencial para garantir a competitividade das organizações no mercado. Neste contexto, a cooperação universidade-empresa surge como uma alternativa externa às empresas para o desenvolvimento de suas aptidões inovadoras. Considerando a importância destas cooperações para o desenvolvimento econômico, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo o mapeamento das redes de relacionamentos a partir dos projetos de desenvolvimento tecnológico desenvolvidos entre as empresas multinacionais brasileiras, suas subsidiárias e universidades ou institutos de pesquisas, por meio das concessões de patentes, que abrangem os modelos de invenção, de modelo de utilidade, depositados em bancos nacional e internacional. O estudo é uma pesquisa qualitativa, com abordagem descritiva, utilizando o método de levantamento de dados secundários dos bancos de pedidos de patentes nacional (Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Industrial - INPI) e internacional (Escritório Europeu de Patentes - EPO). O universo da pesquisa abrange quatro empresas multinacionais brasileiras, do setor de extração ou de transformação de recursos naturais, que desenvolvem atividades de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento em processos de cooperação tecnológica. As patentes concedidas para estas empresas foram analisadas com o intuito de se verificar quais destes documentos envolviam projetos de cooperação tecnológica; e a partir do uso da análise de redes sociais examinou-se e mapeou-se as estruturas das redes de relacionamentos, destas organizações com suas subsidiarias e universidades ou institutos de pesquisa. Esta pesquisa demonstra o processo de cooperação tecnológica no Brasil e sua dinâmica, enfatizando a importância do envolvimento em redes de cooperação para o fortalecimento da inovação tecnológica nas organizações.
As innovation becomes a fundamental issue to aggregate value to companies, its management is an essential tool to guarantee market competitiveness among organizations. In this context, university-industry collaboration appears as an external alternative for companies to develop their innovation aptitudes. Considering the importance of these collaborations for economic growth, the present research aims at mapping relationships networks among Brazilian multinational companies, their subsidiaries and research institutes or universities through patent concessions, registered in national and international databases. This is a descriptive qualitative study based on secondary data methodology research from national and international patent databases (INPI National Institute for Industrial Property and EPO European Patent Office). The research includes four Brazilian multinational companies from the natural resource extraction and transformation industry involved in research and development collaboration with other organizations. Their patents have been analyzed in order to verify which documents are involved in technology cooperation…

▼ The Pathways to Prosperity (PtoP) Network at JFF has a bold vision: to reimagine how young people are prepared for the future of work in the United States. Launched in 2012, the PtoP Network is leading a national effort to improve education, workforce, and economic outcomes by building career pathways systems that prepare all young people for economically sustainable futures. This capstone examines my work to design and implement a strategy to engage high-level leaders (“the leads”) from different sectors and roles across the PtoP Network in intentional and deliberate activities to increase their impact, build their affinity for and connection to the Network, and advance the career pathways field. I examine design considerations for leaders of networks and elevate tensions inherent in the complex work of cross-sector collaboration. My analysis focuses on themes of delivering value and navigating uncertainty in the network design process, with implications for my leadership in the midst of ambiguity, for the future of the PtoP Network, and for collaboration across the education sector. Overall, the findings offer insights into the promise of networks to support field-building through careful design.

▼ A major means to encode and share scientific knowledge are publications, which cite each other and which are authored by one or more scientists. Citation
networks of publications are commonly used to proxy the structure of scientific knowledge. Coauthorship
networks are used to represent the social network between collaborating scientists. Yet, these two
networks are rarely considered together even though they are interconnected. The multilayer collaborative knowledge network that results from combining the two allows us to study how the social relations among authors affect the structure and dynamics of the citation layer. To address this issue, we apply network theory. In the first part, we analyse the structure of collaborative knowledge
networks. Our goal is to study dyadic interactions between individual pairs of authors in the context of the whole network. The ability to perform such a study will allow investigating individual citation behaviours of authors, as well as their deviations from community standards. For this, we develop a novel statistical method to extract how much authors' citations to each other deviate from a certain expectation. It builds on three methodological contributions. The first one is a flexible probabilistic model for complex
networks that can encode heterogeneity in dyadic interactions. The second one is a procedure to formulate statistical null models for
networks that respect temporal ordering of nodes and community structures. The third contribution is a new nonparametric probabilistic measure to quantify the deviation of an observed value from a distribution. With this method at hand, we present the deviations of authors' citations from the expectation formed based on the behaviour of the community at large. We also show how to use these deviations to highlight the intricate sub-community structures within the larger communities. In the second part, we study the evolution of collaborative knowledge
networks. We show that the often neglected social layer has a significant effect on the citation layer. Particularly, we find that the overall likelihood of a publication to be cited scales with the number of previous publications by its authors, as well as with the number of their previous collaborators. To obtain this finding, we develop a method to fit and compare probabilistic growth models of multilayer
networks. We further look into how the citations are distributed over time for a given publication and we find that citations arrive faster for the authors with more collaborators and more publications. The scientific contribution of this thesis is twofold. First, we develop novel statistical methods to study evolving multilayer complex
networks. These methods can be applied in various fields. Second, we apply these methods to study citation and
collaboration networks from the unified viewpoint of a multilayer network, which leads us to findings that could not be reached by merely considering the two layers in isolation.

▼ Institutional voids are increasingly gaining
precedence and research attention due to the increased
participation of developing countries in global markets
(Mair&Marti, 2009). This theory focuses on the identification
of weaknesses in institutions and how these voids result in
ineffective functioning of emerging markets (Mair&Marti, 2009).
In this study, focus is on
collaboration as a strategy used by the
emerging markets to overcome the absence of institutional and
regulatory frameworks, prevalent in their capital, labour and
product markets.Forty (40) South African small-medium enterprises
were analysed to determine what the priority collaborative benefits
are for firms operating in the emerging market context. The
research shows that in emerging markets,
collaboration benefits are
based on a need to overcome institutional voids i.e. to reduce the

▼ This is a theoretical research report that advocates
the achievement of competitiveness in formulating strategies of
co-operation with industry participants through the establishment
of collaborative
networks. A collaborative network is reviewed from
a theoretical perspective to add insight into the
subject as a
mechanism for firms to achieve competitiveness and sustainability.
The theory of collaborative
networks is explored further in
identifying the interdependent components of collaborative
networks
to better understand their establishment and management. The
literature on government policy is also examined from an industry
competitiveness perspective, with particular emphasis on the
influence of government policy in ensuring successful collaborative
networks that achieve industry competitiveness.By using a single
case design in the South African Automotive Sector, the
interdependent components are linked to the organisational design
of the collaborative network. The research was exploratory in
developing and extending the theory into an integrated model in
assessing the competitiveness of the automotive industry.The
research found that the ability to participate in a collaborative
network is a strategic resource that firms need to acquire. The
research confirmed the establishment and development of the network
structure, strategy, dynamics and culture as the enabling platform
for successful
collaboration with in a network. The research found
that the governance structures within the collaborative network are
critical in establishing the balance between competition and
co-operation and in evolving relationships into partnerships that
define the collaborative network as a strategic organisation. The
research also found collaborative
networks are unique
manifestations that achieve efficiencies beyond economic benefit
for the participants of the network to the achievement of
socio-economic benefit for the industry in the form of
entrepreneurship development, job creation and skills
transfer.

▼ Social problems are complex, increasingly so, yet resources allocated to deal with these problems have declined. Nonprofit and government agencies tasked with providing social services to individuals are joining forces to solve the most complicated problems faced by society. The Palmer Court Employment Pilot in Salt Lake City, Utah is an example of one such nonprofit/government collaboration. In a yearlong case study analysis, data from the Palmer Court Employment Pilot were collected and analyzed to reveal both strengths and weaknesses of the collaborative approach. The reported findings, in combination with a synthesis of previous literature, serve as a foundation for a ternary framework of interagency collaboration focusing on: (1) cultural dynamics, (2) relational dynamics, and (3) practical dynamics. The theory posited serves as a starting point for further research on the intersection of nonprofit/government collaboration.

▼ Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação para o desenvolvimento nacional, diz o Governo brasileiro. É preciso investir em P&D para agregar valor aos produtos e serviços nacionais e consolidar a posição do Brasil entre as economias intensivas em conhecimento. Na economia baseada no conhecimento, o processo de inovação ganha complexidade. As idéias para a inovação podem vir de fontes internas e externas à firma ou mesmo de outras esferas institucionais, como a universidade; as inovações originadas nas organizações tendem a ser utilizadas em diferentes contextos, particularmente em ambientes menos compromissados com os usos tradicionais das tecnologias e produtos existentes. O Modelo de Inovação da Hélice Tríplice elege a interação entre Universidade, Indústria e Governo como base para a construção de capacidade científica, tecnológica e de inovação. A tese da Hélice Tríplice sustenta que a universidade desempenha um papel cada vez mais central na introdução de inovações descontínuas nas sociedades baseadas no conhecimento, compartilhando com a indústria e o governo a liderança do processo de inovação. O Modelo de Inovação Aberta trata a área de P&D como um sistema aberto. Esse modelo sugere que as empresas intensifiquem o fluxo de entrada de idéias e tecnologias externas e de saída de conhecimento interno, buscando criar valor novo a partir da gestão da propriedade intelectual. A Metodologia PCREX - Prática Centros/Redes de Excelência Petrobras/COPPE, analisada neste trabalho com base do estudo do caso CEGEQ-COPPE, representa um modelo para a organização de redes de pesquisa que dialoga com os Modelos de Inovação da Hélice Tríplice e de Inovação Aberta, capaz de dinamizar a transferência de conhecimentos entre a Universidade e a Empresa e promover o desenvolvimento das instituições participantes.
Science, Technology and Innovation for national development, says Brazilian Government. Investment in R&D is needed to aggregate value to national products and services and consolidate the countrys position among knowledge- intensive economies. In the knowledge-based economy, innovation process complexity grows. Ideas for innovation are increasingly likely to come from both inside and outside the firm or even from another institutional sphere such as the university. Innovations originated in a company are more likely to be utilized in different contexts, mainly in those not committed to the usual applications of existing technologies and products. The Triple Helix Innovation Model elects university-industry-government interactions as a basis for science, technology and innovation capacity building. The Triple Helix thesis holds that the university is increasingly central to discontinuous innovation in knowledge-based societies along with industry and government. The Open Innovation Model treats R&D as an open system. It suggests that companies should let more external ideas and technologies flow in from the outside and let more internal knowledge flow to the outside, managing intellectual property for value creation. The PCREX…

EDUCATIONAL COLLABORATION NETWORKS AND LEADERSHIP IN CHILE AND LATIN AMERICA: A SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS.

▼ Collaboration has become an indispensable tool for promoting, improving and increasing investigation, and educational researchers are not outsiders to this phenomenon. However, little is known about collaborative efforts among educational scholars in Latin America. In order to address this gap in our knowledge, a Social Network Analysis (SNA) is used to examine the relationships and patterns that emerge from a dataset of co-authored scholarly publications among Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in Chile and Latin America, taking into account a purposeful dataset retrieved from Web of Science (WoS). Based on several sociograms and networks’ centrality indicators (density, degree, betweenness, and closeness), along with bibliometric results, this study focuses on detecting which educational actors are in positions of leadership in the collaborative
networks, exploring the existence of clusters, and identifying what countries, institutions and scholars are acting as positive contributors in the collaborative network as a whole.
Thus, at the country level, it was found that 5 out of the 19 Latin American countries are totally unconnected within the collaborative network: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Paraguay. Interestingly, most of them are smaller countries located in Central America. Conversely, bigger nations such as Mexico, Argentina and Brazil have higher number of publications along with respectable inter-country rates of
collaboration. This situation allow them to display higher centrality indicators. The case of Brazil is outstanding, since it is the only country in the region where the official language is Portuguese. More surprisingly is the case of Chile, which is an isolated and relatively small country in South America; however, it presents the highest centrality indicators, leading the network in terms of degree centrality (number of direct connections among the actors of the network), betweenness (suggesting a strategic position on paths within the network), and closeness (interacting quickly with other actors in the network).
Even though Chile and the bigger nations of Latin America form a distinctive pattern of
collaboration and leadership, the network as a whole has a density of 0.193, which means that only 19.3% of the potential connections occur in this network. This indicates that, at the country level, the network has the potential to improve its interconnectedness.
Taking into account the performance of Chile, additional analysis is conducted for this country at the institutional and scholar levels, along with an exploration of clusters (social groupings within
networks), and the examination of the international dimension of the collaborative efforts at the scholar level.
At the institutional level, a total of 45 HEI were publishing papers, and 13 of them were not coauthoring educational articles through inter-institutional
collaboration. In this case, the density of the network is 0.0515 (5.15%). In other words, only 102 collaborative efforts between two or more…

▼ This is a theoretical research report that advocates the
achievement of competitiveness in formulating strategies of
co-operation with industry participants through the establishment
of collaborative
networks. A collaborative network is reviewed from
a theoretical perspective to add insight into the
subject as a
mechanism for firms to achieve competitiveness and sustainability.
The theory of collaborative
networks is explored further in
identifying the interdependent components of collaborative
networks
to better understand their establishment and management. The
literature on government policy is also examined from an industry
competitiveness perspective, with particular emphasis on the
influence of government policy in ensuring successful collaborative
networks that achieve industry competitiveness.By using a single
case design in the South African Automotive Sector, the
interdependent components are linked to the organisational design
of the collaborative network. The research was exploratory in
developing and extending the theory into an integrated model in
assessing the competitiveness of the automotive industry.The
research found that the ability to participate in a collaborative
network is a strategic resource that firms need to acquire. The
research confirmed the establishment and development of the network
structure, strategy, dynamics and culture as the enabling platform
for successful
collaboration with in a network. The research found
that the governance structures within the collaborative network are
critical in establishing the balance between competition and
co-operation and in evolving relationships into partnerships that
define the collaborative network as a strategic organisation. The
research also found collaborative
networks are unique
manifestations that achieve efficiencies beyond economic benefit
for the participants of the network to the achievement of
socio-economic benefit for the industry in the form of
entrepreneurship development, job creation and skills
transfer.

▼ Notwithstanding the growing consensus on benefits associated with collaborations among intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) in peace operations, academic research has thus far neglected pressing questions of why and how IGOs collaborate within a network context in peace operations and how these inter-organizational collaborations among IGOs, IGO
networks, might account for the success/failure of these operations. More specifically, this dissertation concentrates on how structural properties of IGO
networks, such as the extensiveness of ties between network partners, and the cohesiveness of such
networks, may account for peace operations’ performance in accomplishing their core goals: violence abatement, conflict containment and conflict settlement (Diehl and Druckman 2010). Drawing on a multidisciplinary framework bringing together insights from international relations, social network analysis and organizational studies, I argued, consistent with the extant literature, centralized and closed IGO networks—whether formally structured through time or ad hoc in each conflict—will have a moderating effect on network effectiveness. Particularly, I hypothesized that since they will improve and facilitate coordination in peace operations and achieve a more coherent IGO presence, dense and centralized inter-organizational
networks formed by IGOs would be more likely to be successful in implementing the core tasks of peace missions.
This study uses newly collected relational data of inter-organizational collaborations among IGOs in peace operations deployed in internal armed conflicts and covers the period 1990 to 2013 to examine and assess the role of these collaborations, and their structural characteristics in peace operations outcomes. My hypotheses are tested using inferential network analysis and logit models to capture the effect of inter-organizational
networks on peace operations outcomes. Though I found strong evidence that dense IGO
networks are more likely to succeed in abating violence and containing conflicts in peace operations, my findings demonstrate that centralization, i.e., whether the network cohesion is centered around focal organization(s), does not matter for the performance of such missions, and the effectiveness of collaborations. I found mixed evidence regarding the role of the host country and the conflict characteristics associated with the success of peace operations.

▼ Achieving network performance is a vital goal in response to the increase of inter-organizational
networks public organizations involve. The primary aim of this research is to examine the factors that predict performance in public management
networks by disentangling the idea that
collaboration requires both diversity and unity. Drawing upon diversity theories, social capital theory and management literature as theoretical lenses, this dissertation serves to investigate the following questions:
1. What is the collaborative decision-making process in inter-organizational
networks?
2. How does social capital mediate the relationship between network member diversity and performance?
3. How does network management strategy moderate the relationship between social capital and network performance?
My dissertation answers these questions by examining Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) in the United States, one of the regional transportation
networks. MPOs are formal inter-organizational
networks that go beyond informal and intra-organizational
networks. The focus here is on collaborative decision-making activities by individuals (mostly top-level administrators) who represent organizations working across their boundaries. This dissertation provides an important evidence of the interactive effects between network management behaviors and structural properties of
networks on performance; it also contributes to the existing knowledge of inter-organizational dynamics in transportation planning
networks.

▼ This dissertation builds upon a 25-year old study by Mizrahi and Rosenthal (1993) which examined how coalition leaders defined and perceived success and failure in their respective coalitions. This study replicates the Mizrahi and Rosenthal study by returning to participants from the original study and, adapting the original instrument, interviewing those participants to examine their perceptions after 25 years has passed. Utilizing the same instrument, new coalition leaders from the originally studied coalitions which are still intact are also interviewed and their responses are compared against responses from leaders of coalitions which have since dissolved. The current study uses basic descriptive analysis for the structured survey items and grounded theory methodology for the qualitative analysis of open-ended questions.
The analysis examines participant responses in the following areas: participant information; coalition information; demographic information of working group, board and constituency; characterization of coalition; internal and environmental predictors of dissolution; political and social climate during dissolution; political forces influencing dissolution; events in the lifespan; benefits and drawback of permanency; target information; definition of success; internal and environmental predictors of success; goals; strategies and tactics; decision-making processes; modes of communication; coalition resources; membership and participation; leadership; and practice wisdom.
Utilizing organizational, ecological, social capital and collaboration literature and theory, indicators of coalition success are reviewed. Specifically, findings from this study confirm that coalition success should be defined multi-dimensionally and that coalitions should be operationalized as networks more than as organizations. Findings demonstrate that coalition success is predicted by the following internal factors: impetus to form and coalition purpose; goal-setting, identification of target and strategy; internal resources; leadership; power and decision-making; coalition structure; member contributions; diversity; and relationships, including dynamics of respect, trust, commitment and communication. Additionally, findings demonstrate that coalition success is predicted by the following environmental factors: external resource and resource dependence; goal-setting, identification of target and strategy; relationship with community and degree of coupling; and political, fiscal and social climate. Theoretical and practical implications for these findings are discussed along with limitations to current research and areas for potential future research.

▼ To develop today’s complex products, people from different organisations collaborate in innovation projects. The
collaboration, though, is challenged by their different professional and organisational backgrounds, which determine their goals, their roles and responsibilities, and their expectations. People often struggle to deal with the critical situations that arise from these differences. This thesis seeks to help practitioners deal with the critical situations by providing them with an action repertoire for networked innovation. Based on an explorative literature study and a study of the
collaboration during the Senseo coffeemaker’s development, we found the factors that influence the
collaboration in innovation
networks. When these factors negatively influence the
collaboration, they lead to critical situations. In a simulation experiment, we asked 35 experienced networked innovation managers what they would do in these critical situations. This provided an overview of activities from which an action repertoire could be distilled. This repertoire of actions can help practitioners to select an action in the critical situation they experience. With the selection of an action, practitioners can resolve the situation as it emerges and select an action suited to the complexity of their situation. Studying the
collaboration in innovation
networks extends design research on the complexity of innovating in
networks and the
collaboration in multidisciplinary teams. The action repertoire provides insights in how to deal with these situations as they occur and enriches the literature that provides guidance on what to do in networked innovation project.

▼ This Thesis presents ethnographic data collected through multi-sector, multi-level purposive sampling in a longitudinal qualitative case study between 2008 and 2010. A pilot study had discovered the changing role of government in building capacity for responses to civil emergencies, against a context of changing risks and resources for UK Emergency Management. The Thesis explored the increasing involvement of non-statutory agencies by focussing on the ‘Third Sector’: voluntary, charitable, faith, or community organisations and communities. The Thesis reports (1) the relationship between multi-organisational arrangements and resilience, (2) the role of Third Sector organisations in implementing resilience, and (3) the role of the Third Sector in community resilience. (1) The data suggested that the process of implementing resilience involved operationalising the resilience concept as a philosophy for Integrated Emergency Management [IEM], and consequent changes to the governance and organisation of Scottish and UK emergency management. The research linked the role of the Third Sector in resilience and community resilience to the dynamic between preparedness and response. It explored (2) the impact of implementing resilience on organising and organisations in the Third Sector, and (3) policy development and capacity-building for an emergent role in community resilience. The Thesis makes a distinctive contribution to the discipline of Public Management. Firstly, the findings represent a novel empirical and theoretical contribution regarding the role of the Third Sector in community resilience and in the resilience paradigm of emergency management. This data is used to extend existing theory about the proactive role of Third Sector organisations in collaborative emergency management. Secondly, the Thesis argues that the meso-level of analysis is neglected in the emerging field of resilience studies. Network and collaboration theory in Public Management are used to make a novel theoretical contribution, describing the relationship between multi-organisational arrangements and the operationalisation of ‘resilient’ emergency management. Thirdly, the Thesis contributes to the study of collaborative emergency management from this longitudinal perspective. This data is used to extend our understanding of (a) the applicability of Public Management theory to this context and (b) the relevance of data from this context to theories of collaborative public management.

▼ Why should technology-based startups in the energy sector collaborate? How do they collaborate today? What is the incumbents’ perspective on collaboration with startups? Today these are issues of high interest for the energy sector in Sweden and for other startups in similar industries. This thesis considers the changing dynamics within the Energy sector in Sweden, the potential of innovation through startups, the market potential and barriers that these actors within the industry are facing. It also considers how collaborations and networks serve to seize opportunities and to overcome challenges and barriers faced by the industry today. Opportunity areas identified were: the trends within the industry concerning decentralized generation, the founders’ dedication for their startups, startup’s ability to act fast and flexibly, their technology contribution, and incumbents differentiating themselves through startups in a highly competitive market. Entry barriers identified were a traditional and slow market, dominative national champions, financial, regulatory, lead times, lack of experience, high risk, lack of system context and credibility. Finally strategic networks and collaboration prove to be an essential part for startups to overcome their liabilities and barriers to entry.
