Inter-organizational cooperation: challenges for joint action
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the challenges of inter-organizational cooperation, understood here as the fulfillment of joint tasks. The focus is on challenges or constraints influencing the quality of actions, the performance and, in consequence, the outcome of efforts for the organizations involved. Findings suggest shortcomings on the organizational and the individual level and in different domains: psychological, technical, linguistic, and cognitive. Improvements are suggested that could help to reduce the number of challenging factors and thus their negative impact onto joint efforts.
