Project Description

Learning is a focal issue in many inter-organizational collaborations in both public and private sector settings. It is also central to practice adoption and innovation through alliances and networks. This project is concerned with developing an understanding of approaches to learning in such contexts, with particular reference to the planned or emergent possibilities for collaborative advantage which might thereby result. The project is concerned with both substantive learning between partners and process learning about how to collaborate with each other.
