Collaborating: Finding Common Ground for Multiparty Problems

As the author points out, collaboration is an emerging and eminently positive method for addressing problems that impact more than one group. In today's ever-increasingly complex world, alternatives to current forms of problem solving are necessary (although collaboration is certainly not new). Gray's study has been cited by other, following authors; it must be considered as a seminal source of investigation into what may emerge as one of the best means of solving problems facing organizations of all sorts. The book is very readable, indicates a thorough knowledge of the field (even though it was written a decade ago), and must be considered a vital work in the field.
