Abstract: Past empirical research has examined the dynamics of inter and intra-organizational collaboration and its impact on organizational outcomes.This study will focus on the benefits organizations derive from collaboration and the ways in which it can be fostered more effectively.Qualitative research involving leaders and professionals in a large professional services firm indicate the difficulty of creating a collaborative culture, even when the firm professes its value.The study findings, while supporting empirical evidence add a rich phenomenological component that recognizes the human challenges with and motivations for collaborating in a business environment.Recommendations for fostering collaboration are discussed.
