This paper unpacks two underspecified facets of collaboration: cooperation and coordination. Prior research has emphasized cooperation, specifically partners' commitment alignment interests, as the key determinant collaborative success. Scholars have paid less attention to critical role coordination—the effective adjustment actions. To redress this imbalance, we conceptually disentangle coordination in context inter-organizational collaboration, examine how phenomena play out partner...

We propose two distinct influence pathways—one cognitive, one affect-based—by which...

Abstract Taking urgent action to combat climate change is a pivotal Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). Since it closely intertwined with the other 16 goals, frequently characterized as ‘wicked problem par excellence.’ Interdisciplinary research, i.e., research crossing disciplinary boundaries, offers promise for grappling wicked problems, but also entails significant challenges researchers. In this study, we use bibliometric methods understand how management scholars have, over course of...

This study develops and tests a conceptual framework that analyzes how why firm’s experiences with complex intraorganizational structures (i.e., matrix) will affect its propensity to enter into, ability manage, interorganizational alliances are multilateral, multifunctional, or involve diverse industry partners). We posit managers of matrix firms’ greater familiarity coordination, knowledge sharing, conflict management challenges in collaboration gives them confidence their manage similar...

Formal, compliance-focused governance for supply chain sustainability initiatives has a mixed empirical track record. We build on classic research bureaucracy to examine how “enabling” and “coercive” formalization at the buyer–supplier interface affect attitudes, an important precursor behavioral engagement. conduct randomized field experiment with supplier community of South African insurance company directly compare treatment effects enabling coercive interventions. report discuss...
