Toward temporally complex collaboration in an interorganizational research network

Abstract: Prior research suggests interorganizational collaboration faces temporal challenges but also opportunities yet is scarce on the role of time enabling – more often deterring - collaboration for collective benefit. Our contribution is highlighting how a large industry-academic research network developed temporally complex collaboration through varying temporal rules and relationships. The three network-developed collaborative repertoires, with their particular temporal rules and relationships, complemented the e… Show more

“…Limited by treaty powers, such networks are heterogeneous and lack any shared authority. Thus, resourcing becomes potentially valuable not only because of the urgency of action in an emergency but because it yields collaborative tools for organizing without an external rule-maker being present (Jarvenpaa and Välikangas 2021 ). By operating across the three temporal schemas, a partial organization may be able to make the transition from building preparedness to taking swift action when needed in the “thick of time”.…”

“…Temporal work can thus shape perceptions of the “right timing”, urgency, or windows of opportunities for action (Granqvist and Gustafsson, 2016). In another example, Sirkka Jarvenpaa and Liisa Välikangas’ (2022) study of interorganizational collaboration emphasizes how temporal work might shape participants’ willingness to create, rather than wait for, the “right time” for innovation.…”

“…The managerial challenge represented by temporal complexity – i.e., the coexistence of diverse and potentially conflicting temporal structures and assumptions among people who need to work together – is the central focus of both Jarvenpaa and Välikangas’ (2022) and Hilbolling et al’s (2022) studies. While temporal complexity is often seen as a deterrent for collaboration as different parties struggle to navigate multiple or conflicting temporal requirements simultaneously (Reinecke and Ansari, 2015), Jarvenpaa and Välikangas suggest that temporal complexity may also be an enabler of interorganizational collaboration.…”
