Abstract
Many regions in the world are tackling promoting new and competitive industries through cross-sectoral collaborations to adapt, compete, and survive in dynamic, complex, and interconnected environments. Section 3 explores the research question (R.Q.) 2 introduced in Chapter 1 of Section 1 to elucidate the management approach to facilitate the self-organization process toward the collaborations. The literature review in this chapter first discusses that inter-organizational collaborations, a type of network organization, are formed through a self-organization process characterized by complexity and require intervention. Second, the planned approach to change based on change management theory is examined. Here, the initial conditions, field, and emerging interaction are identified as the key elements to be targeted in management through intervention. Finally, a conceptual model is proposed, and the method of intervention in the key elements is considered.
