Discourse and collaboration: The role of conversations and collective identity
Article Abstract:
The relationship between discourse and interorganizational collaboration is explored, and it is argued that interorganizational collaboration could be understood as the product of sets of conversations that draw on existing discourses. Effective collaboration emerges out of a two-stage process, in which conversations produce discursive resources that create a collective identity and translate it into effective collaboration.
