“…Inter-organizational systems supporting interagency collaboration must accommodate a wide range of factors from the external environment and participating organizations as part of their design and operation [16]. The literature is clear that conditions present at the outset of cross-sector collaboration can either facilitate or discourage coordination and integration between different agencies.…”

“…Scholars assert that practitioners and scholars of contemporary public administration need to treat network seriously [34]. Cross-sector collaborative networks are created when agencies agree to share information on an ongoing basis [16]. Designing cross-sector collaborative organizational structure enables a seamless and integrated governmental organization.…”

“…First of all, inter-organizational systems (IOS) scholars made us aware of the inter-organizational coordination problems as a result of the heterogeneity of organizations involved in developing common IT infrastructures (for the IOS debate for example see: Schooley and Horan 2007;Fedorowicz, Gogan & Williams 2007;Williams, Dias Fedorowicz, Jacobson, Vilvovsky, Sawyer and Tyworth 2009). Secondly, the intergovernmental relations literature has taught us just how problematic centralization is (Wright 1988;1990;Fleurke and Willemse 2004).…”

Our main concern in this article is whether nation-wide information technology (IT) infrastructures or systems in emergency response and disaster management are the solution to the communication problems the safety sector suffers from. It has been argued that implementing nation-wide IT systems will help to create shared cognition and situational awareness among relief workers. We put this claim to the test by presenting a case study on the introduction of 'netcentric work', an IT system-based platform aiming at the creation of situational awareness for professionals in the safety sector in the Netherlands. The outcome of our research is that the negotiation with relevant stakeholders by the Dutch government has lead to the emergence of several fragmented IT systems. It becomes clear that a top-down implementation strategy for a single nation-wide information system will fail because of the fragmentation of the Dutch safety sector it is supposed to be a solution to. As the US safety sector is at least as fragmented as its Dutch counterpart, this may serve as a caveat for the introduction of similar IT systems in the US.

“…Despite the overwhelming proclaimed benefits of collaboration of multi-actors for local governance, the conditions required to ensure its efficacy are extremely difficult (Kaiser, 2011;Fedorowicz et al, 2007). As Huxham and Hilbert (2008: 48) correctly put it: partnering is notoriously difficult; success rates as low as 20 per cent are often quoted (Huxham and Hibbert, 2008: 48).…”

The complexities of the twenty-first century have paved way for the emergence and proliferation of cross boundary collaboration in the lexicon of localised and territorial development. Collaborative governance is increasingly playing a vital role in addressing the multi-dimensional challenges of the contemporary era. This paper seeks to contextualise collaborative governance as a possible remedy that could help to salvage the incapacitated municipalities and be more resourceful in their developmental mandate of fostering localised territorial development.In addition, the article discusses some of the contextual limitations of commonly applied state-led and civilpowered approaches to address socio-economic problems in municipalities. To constitute a resilient collaborative governance capable of improving system management and responsiveness to socio-economic issues in municipalities, the paper tends to shed light on the emergence of another type of approach, the hybridcentric collaborative approach. Given this scenario, what would be the specific roles and relationship between the state and non-state?
