Business Without Boundaries: An Action Framework for Collaborating Across Time, Distance, Organization, and Culture

Traditional forms of collaboration are not sufficient for competing effectively in the more complex and dynamic environment of today’s business world. Face-to-face meetings between people of similar backgrounds have given way to increasingly complex working relationships. Organizations must be able to gain rapid access to knowledgeable people to meet constantly changing conditions and demands. More fluid, flexible, and easily reconfigurable collaborative relationships are necessary to produce the innovations that can make or break organizations¾even entire industries¾ and provide the opportunities that attract the talented and motivated employees who will make the difference between success and failure.

Business Without Boundaries helps managers address these challenges. The authors explore a number of wide-ranging, real-world cases to identify hands-on principles for successful collaboration. They offer managers and executives practical steps and tools for creating, facilitating, and supporting complex collaborations throughout their organizations. And they explain how to “team” across boundaries in the new global economy. The recommendations are specific enough to apply to particular forms of complex collaboration (for example supply chains, global product development teams, interorganizational alliances) but general enough to apply to new forms that have yet to emerge.

Introduction

Business Without Boundaries in the New Global Economy

People have worked together from the beginnings of civilization, and the forms of collaboration have barely changed since that time. Although a group of laborers building the pyramids of Egypt may seem to bear little resemblance to a team of machine operators working in a plant, the two groups actually have much in common. Both are made up of people of similar backgrounds, with clear loyalties and interests, interacting face to face to perform relatively well defined tasks in pursuit of a shared goal.

But things have changed in recent years. New technologies have made the world a smaller place and altered the nature of work. Competition and markets have become global, and knowledge is now the most important resource for organizations try ... read full excerpt from Business Without Boundaries: An Action Framework for Collaborating Across Time, Distance, Organization, and Culture ebook
