Description
Summary:This dissertation hypothesises and analyses the impact of various ‘drivers’ and ‘facilitators’ of collaboration. It is different to the existing literature in that it segments different levels of stakeholders, geographically (to reflect cultural differences) and occupationally (to reflect differences in job roles).
