<br/><br/> Social science research contains a wealth of knowledge for people seeking to understand collaboration processes. The authors argue that public managers should look inside the 'black box' of collaboration processes. Inside they will find a complex construct of five variable dimensions: governance, administration, organizational autonomy, mutuality and norms. public managers must know these five dimensions and manage them intentionally in order to collaborate effectively.
