3. HOW ORGANIZATION ORGANIZE FOR
COLLBORATING?
Organizations need to be more flexible in
• how work gets done?
• the ability to bring innovations to market quickly is
critical
• appreciate how traditional top-down decision making
that strictly follows the chain of command and narrowly
defined
• functional arrangements might not be the best
structural mechanisms to do this.
5. WHAT IS INTERNAL COLLABORATION?
When managers believe that collaboration among employees is
needed for more coordinated and integrated work efforts, they
can use several different structural options. Some of the more
popular include cross-functional teams, task forces, and
communities of practice.
Exp:
6. CROSS-FUNCTIONAL TEAMS
Cross-Functional Teams. Organizations are using
team-based structures because :
• they’ve found that teams are more flexible
• responsive to changing events than are traditional
departments or other permanent work groups.
7. TASK FORCES
Task Forces. Another structural option organizations might
use is a task force (also called an ad hoc committee), which is a
temporary committee or team5 formed to tackle a specific
short-term problem affecting several departments.
8. COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE
Communities of Practice. These are “groups of people
who share
• a concern
• a set of problems
• a passion about a topic
who deepen their knowledge and expertise in that area
by interacting on an ongoing basis.
9. What is External
Collaboration?
When managers seek out customers to help solve
problems, they are in engaging in external
collaboration. External collaboration comes in two
forms: open innovation and strategic partnerships.
Each of these can provide organizations with needed
information, support, and contributions to getting
work done and achieving organizational goals.
10. Open Innovation
Open Innovation. This form of innovation opens up
the search for new ideas beyond the organization’s
boundaries and allows innovations to easily transfer
inward and outward.
Some of the benefits and drawbacks of open
innovation.
11. Stretegic Partnership
Strategic Partnerships. This type of structure involves
collaborative relationships between two or more
organizations that combine their resources and
capabilities for some business purpose.
12. Summary

or create something. So, all of the explanation where discuss how
to make a collaboration not only between each division, team or
even individual but also between organizations. What is the goals?
To achieve the organization goal ( getting higher profit) effectively
and efficiently. Through this collaboration both internal and
external, the organization can perform really well. As a future
manager we hope that we could define which the best
collaboration for our company.
