Course Overview
What is meant by Collaborative Development? In the post COVID 19 business environment it is critically essential to manage collaborative development effectively. The prime purpose of this exercise is to ensure mutual beneficiation from core competences while simultaneously leveraging strategic advantage from optimal resource utilization.
In order to manage collaborative development successfully, it is necessary to gain insights about the systemic and grassroots level conditions for collaboration, observed from the viewpoint of organisational culture.
A preliminary analysis will include the factors that different groups, like managers, professionals and politicians consider important for collaborative development culture and how they assess both their public and private institutions in this regard.
In order to enable and support management both private and public sector institutions’ personnel’s input and ability to seek external partners is essential for creating a collaborative development culture.
Despite the recognition of deterring elements, it is evident that supporting and driving factors are more important for creation of collaborative culture, giving an optimistic message to role-players trying to enhance collaborative development culture in private and public sector institutions.
Local governments across western societies have confronted pressure to transform their administrative procedures and practices. The current trends in public management conceptualised as “collaborative governance” or new public governance, highlight partnerships and networks between service users, the third sector and private and public organisations.
The emphasis of the reform is on inter-organisational networks and entails a quest for openness in public sector organisations. This shift in public sector reform has prompted researchers across Europe to report their empirical observations related to different collaborative arrangements on the local level, emphasising the different success stories and obstacles to collaboration.
Collaboration has considerable potential but is also difficult in terms of accountability, representativeness and different institutional logics and goals.
