Abstract
In previous chapters, we have given insight into findings on the operation, the opportunities and the limitations of cooperative processes. These findings already propose a major challenge for society and organizations, but there is a lot more on the horizon. We see the need for (1) bridging disciplines and improving managerial relevance of scientific findings regarding collaboration, (2) making more sense of collaboration strategy as a means to approach collaboration in a more professional way, (3) increasing our ability to tap into new business models and new forms of organizing which rely heavily on collaborative capabilities, and (4) developing collaborative leadership and effective personal action repertoires to master the craft of collaboration.
