    (Ans) Collaboration can be defined as a process in which two or more people or organizations work together to achieve common goals by sharing knowledge, learning and building consensus. To explore the nature of the practice of collaboration, the author specifically focused on some of the concepts that challenge individuals involved in a collaborative alliance. Two main concepts were explored to justify individuals' challenges. These are (i) collaborative advantage and (ii) collaborative inertia. There are dilemmas between these two concepts.

Everything keeps changing – The stability of the members can be taken for granted. Everything continues to change in reality. For example, if there is a change in government policy.
