Theoretical perspectives on network collaboration
| Theoretical grounding | Key-constructs |
|---|---|
| Collaborative Governance Regime (Emerson et al., 2011) | Informal, Non-hierarchical structure, Drivers/motivations (e.g. leadership, uncertainty, consequential incentives, interdependence), Collaborative dynamics (e.g. trust, reciprocity, mutual understanding), Outcomes (e.g. learning, organizational adaptability), Common goal |
| Multi-party Collaboration (Bouwen and Taillieu, 2004) | Multiple actors, Informal, Common goal, Social learning process, Dynamics (e.g. trust, reciprocity, interdependence), Adaptability |
| Institutional Theory (DiMaggio and Powell, 1983) | Institutional rules, norms, expectations, Legitimacy, Institutional isomorphism, Organizational fields, Power, Dependency |
| Institutional Fields (DiMaggio and Powell, 1983) | Informal, Common meaning, Mutual understanding, Relations, Mechanisms (e.g. cultural-cognitive, normative, regulative), Dynamics |
| Public Network Management (Agranoff and McGuire, 2001) | Government representatives, Intergovernmental relations, Collaborative learning, Accountability, Trust, Power, Leadership |
| Network Dynamics (Ahuja et al., 2012) | Network architecture, Dimensions of Network Change, Network dynamics (e.g. motivation, relations, dependency, opportunity), Outcomes |
| Collective Action Theory (Olson, 1965) | Collective goods, Free-rider problem, Rational actors, Group size, Formal organization, A-symmetric self-interest |
| Social Capital Theory (Putnam et al., 1993) | Social capital, Social networks, Trust, Reciprocity, Civic engagement, Bonding vs. bridging |
| Cluster Theory (Porter, 1990) | Geographic clusters, Competitive advantage, Proximity, Knowledge sharing, Informal Networks, Coopetition, Labour supply |
