Collaboration: What makes it work (second edition)

A review of research literature on factors influencing successful collaborations
June 2001: Paul Mattessich, Barbara Monsey, and Marta Murray-Close

A new look at what makes collaborations successful. The revised edition reaffirms the success factors found in the first edition and adds a new success factor. It also identifies ways in which the previous report has been put to use to improve the practice and research on collaborations. Also included are: a working definition of collaboration, summaries of the major findings, detailed descriptions of each factor, and an extensive bibliography. Finally, and perhaps most important for organizations involved in or considering collaboration, it includes a Collaboration Factors Inventory--a self-guided assessment tool that potential or current collaborators can take to assess the presence of each of the twenty factors.
