Annual Conference 2013
Location: Newcastle University Business School
Time/Date: 15th July 2013 - 17th July 2013
Conference Theme - Innovating Relationships in Partnerships, Alliances and Networks
People who work together within organizations are confronted with all sorts of challenges.
They have to divide tasks, set rules, design an organizational structure, mediate conflicts, take decisions, change and innovate, develop a strategy, and so forth.
The current societal, economic and technological developments have raised the stakes in terms of interdependency between organisations and these challenges increasing the interest in the inter-organizational domain. Societal challenges in sectors like ageing, sustainability and social renewal are technically and organizationally complex issues.
Such complexity requires a commitment by companies, government agencies, civic organisations and interest groups improve their collaboration skills, governance and structures.
A variety of partnerships, alliances and networks have developed in response to these challenges both within and across the business, government and civil society sectors.
