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
- Cooperation agreement / cooperation contract in the broadest sense
- Start of cooperation
- Implementation of the cooperation
- Accompaniment of the cooperation
- Further development of the cooperation
- Conflict Management
- Termination of cooperation
