The aim of dissertation – is to reveal collaborative value creation in cross-sector partnership by conceptualizing and empirically justifying a partnership context, process and governance mechanisms. This dissertation selects collaborative value creation in dyad NGO and business organization partnership as an empirical area in a given research context. Considering the complexity and the scope of collaborative value creation in cross-sector partnership, the dissertation employs the exploratory research and the case study methodology, based on the adductive research strategy and the systemic combining approach. To reveal the processes of collaborative value creation in cross-sector partnership and to identify the barriers of cross-sector partnership management, a semi-structural interview questionnaire was constructed to interview NGO, business organizations and cross-sector partnership brokers/ intermediaries. The theoretical analysis of the concepts of cross-sector partnership and collaborative value creation, the exploratory research as well as the case study findings allowed to determine the partnership context, the subprocesses of partnership formation and implementation. It allowed to find out that the collaborative value depend on NGO managerial skills, the institutionalization level in business organizations, and on the business organization manager‘s attitude to partnerships with NGO, to an integration level of volunteering and donating culture in business organization processes, to development of partnership management and financing systems and structures, to the conceptualized structure of collaborative value creation in cross-sector partnership, which could be used as the management tool for cross-sector partnership governance. |
