5.0 out of 5 stars
The best study of interorganizational collaboration.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Collaborating: Finding Common Ground for Multiparty Problems (Jossey-Bass Management Series) (Hardcover)
As the author points out, collaboration is an emerging and eminently positive method for addressing problems that impact more than one group. In today's ever-increasingly complex world, alternatives to current forms of problem solving are necessary (although collaboration is certainly not new). Gray's study has been cited by other, following authors; it must be considered as a seminal source of investigation into what may emerge as one of the best means of solving problems facing organizations of all sorts. The book is very readable, indicates a thorough knowledge of the field (even though it was written a decade ago), and must be considered a vital work in the field.
