Intra- and Interorganizational Cooperation: Toward a Research Agenda

Abstract

The 1994 Special Research Forum on Intra- and Interorganizational Cooperation is dedicated to the proposition that issues of cooperation are fundamental to management success and of increasing importance in today's complex business world. After briefly reviewing the domain of cooperation, we use the content of the articles submitted for this special issue as a sample of current questions and research on cooperation and examine these studies relative to the domain. After introducing the work published here, we identify a set of questions pertinent to future research on cooperation.
