This volume contains two Open Access Chapters. Volume 64 of
Research in the Sociology of Organizations takes stock of research
on processes of inter-organizational collaboration and explores new
topics that call for inquiry. It shows that inter-organizational
collaboration is becoming more varied and fluid. Traditional
strategic alliances and consortia are still around, but these are
complemented with new forms of collaboration, often enabled by
emerging digital technologies. The volume is organized in three
parts. The first set of chapters focus on relational dynamics of
inter-organizational collaboration. Process views of
inter-organizational collaboration investigate the relational
embeddedness of interactions, the development and change of
relations, and how relationships are constituted as processual
phenomena. The second part of this volume addresses organizational
dynamics in collaboration processes. Organizations themselves are
not stable in any collaboration: just as collaboration is fluid,
also organizations continuously change, and intra-organizational
dynamics are key to understand external collaboration. Third, this
volume addresses new phenomena in the changing landscape of
inter-organizational collaboration, thereby laying out directions
for future inquiry.
