This book advances our understanding of interaction processes in multi-organisational partnerships, alliances and networks. By adopting a relational approach on collaboration, control, learning, conflict in and failure of inter-organisational relationships and networks, the book attempts to fill an existing gap in the literature. In so doing, it poses and answers leading questions such as: Which processes matter inside inter-organisational relationships and networks? What are the consequences of relations within them? The contributors' approach is relatively novel in the field of network studies: the process or relational stance taken complements existing knowledge on structural characteristics of inter-organisational relationships and networks. A number of key processes essential to their functioning and performance are addressed, and a future research agenda for structuralist, interactionist and combined approaches is recommended. Academics and practitioners focussing on organisation studies in general, and inter-organisational network research more specifically, will find this book a compelling read, as will consultants in inter-organisational collaboration and relationships.

This book can get you there; you can live your Joy. About The Wizard of Oz Code: Ancient civilizations, such as the Mayans and Hopi, are said to have left information to guide us through the times beginning in 2012. And though these ancient maps have been most helpful, what if we were to discover a more contemporary map - in the form of a movie? No, not one of the Armageddon-inspired, earth exploding movies, but a film of whim and whimsy, music and song - the beloved 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz. 2012 is not the end, but a brand new shiny beginning Come along with Dorothy (your physical expression), the Scarecrow (your mental expression), the Tin Man (your spiritual expression) and the Cowardly Lion (your emotional expression) for a whole-some adventure down the Yellow Brick Road (your third chakra). Arm in arm with all your expressions, you will head (or skip ) toward our next evolution, where we will live in a place of joy, love and compassion (Emerald City). Along the way you will learn to listen to Toto (your inner voice), and face the wildly out of control Wicked Witch of the West (your ego). You will come to stand in your own pair of Ruby Red Slippers (or powerful foundation/first chakra), and uplift your view of all from the higher vantage point of your Soul. So get out of Kansas (the physical boundaries of earth time and space) and come to Oz, where all your greatest secrets and knowledge lie About the Author: Mich graduated with honors from St. Louis University, studying at both the St. Louis and Madrid, Spain campuses.
