Isbell. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781478632931.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnique in their approach to unraveling the complexity of collaboration, Heath \u0026amp; Isbell introduce novice readers to foundational concepts centered around three key assertions:\nInterorganizational collaboration is complex and warrants study as a specific type of leadership and communication\nSuccessful collaborative relationships are grounded in a principled ethic of democratic and egalitarian participation\nInterorganizational collaboration requires a specific communication language of practice\nFrom a constructionist stance, the authors delineate interorganizational collaboration as influenced by increased interconnectedness, shifting organizational needs, and a changing workforce. Unlike group and organizational texts that approach collaboration from a functional or strategic perspective, this insightful text anchors collaboration in the assumption that democratic and principled communication fosters creative and accountable outcomes.\nReaders will cultivate their ability to recognize and validate the needs of others, separate peoples positions from underlying interests, listen for things never quite said, identify overlapping commonalities, build trust while respecting difference, navigate conflict, and plan for contingencies. They will be ready to participate in constructive collaborations and make the best decisions based on specific circumstances.\nTitle of related interest also available from Waveland Press: Cheney et al., Organizational Communication in an Age of Globalization: Issues, Reflections, Practices, Second Edition (ISBN 9781577666400).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Waveland Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44976601956405,"sku":"ByrdShop_1478632933","price":59.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781478632931_f1f67701-59a2-48bd-8ea1-01d3d6209d19.jpg?v=1778819451","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/interorganizational-collaboration-complexity-ethics-and-communication-9781478632931","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
