Cooperation is a very complex undertaking. In order to master the matter successfully, a relatively fine dissection and analysis of the individual temporal phases of a cooperation is useful:
- Need for cooperation / Initiation
- Decision to cooperate / Formation
- Search for cooperation partners / networking
- Establishing contacts to possible cooperation partners
- Conceptualization of the cooperation / negotiations and consultations
- Agreement on cooperation / cooperation contract in the broadest sense
- Start of the cooperation
- Implementation of the cooperation
- Monitoring of the cooperation
- Further development of the cooperation
- Conflict management
- Termination of the cooperation
