Management issues of consortia. Part two

Abstract

Defines terms associated with consortia – co‐ordination, co‐operation and collaboration – and identifies critical success factors for consortia. Provides four case studies based on the author’s personal experience indicating the reasons for the success or failure of these collaborative ventures. The outcomes are discussed and conclusions drawn. The evidence indicates that successful consortia require time to develop a high level of trust between partners and a willingness to contribute. Part one appeared in Library Management (2002), Vol. 23 No. 4/5.
