Abstract
Section 4 explores the research question (R.Q.) 3 introduced in Chapter 1 of Section 1 to elucidate how to build and rebuild a management body to display the organizational competence for facilitating the self-organization process of cross-sectoral collaborations toward promoting regional industries. This chapter reviews the related literature to consider the theoretical framework for R.Q. 3. First, the introduction describes the background of this study and the link to the research theme. Then, toward the goal of facilitating the collaborations, it is proposed that a governance type featured by a distinctly separate administrative entity (equivalent to the management body in this study) is most suitable for a situation where a large number and variety of autonomous, and mutually dependent actors exist, which this study premises. Moreover, a conceptual model on how to build and rebuild the management body is proposed by identifying the organizational competence and its attributing factors, etc.
