Full textEfforts to combat the widespread health disparities are an important challenge in public health and health promotion. A partnership between four Swedish cities was constituted to face this challenge. Within the context of that partnership, the overall aim of this thesis is to study public health strategies and local development work in municipalities and neighbourhoods, with a special emphasis on residents’ participation. Study I analyses strategic public health work, neighbourhood development, and the early implementation phase of the partnership. Interviews, participant observation, and documents were used as data sources. The study shows that a partnership for local public health work can serve as a connecting link for development and learning among stakeholders involved. Formal structures and national support are crucial preconditions for success in neighbourhood development. Study II analyses what characterizes people who participate in neighbourhood development. A cross-sectional study with a random sample of 1,160 participants from three of the partnership cities was analysed. Citizens who had previous experience of trying to influence policy in the municipality in some way were more likely to be active in neighbourhood development than those who had no such prior experience. Study III analyses a community-academic partnership and a communitybased participatory research process through participant observation. It shows that a community-academic partnership requires an open, equal dialogue, an accepting attitude toward different levels of participation, and a lengthy period of time. Study IV uses a case-study database to analyse the development processes for achieving sustainable structures in neighbourhood development in the four partnership cities. A partnership has the potential to allocate resources on a area-based level, but in this case few resources remained when the partnership ended.

It has long been stated in the literature the effects of collaboration to innovation, especially regarding research and development (R&D) activities. However, these are dynamic empirical fields. Therefore theoretical approaches face constant challenges to understand and explain the new evidences. Due to the limited scope and scale of organizations to search and identify partners with complementary knowledge and resources, and to select those with potential to effectively cooperate for R&D, there is an increasing emergence of agents who provide these services in the market. Called intermediaries or brokers, they influence the interaction among organizations with the common goal of innovation. Still, the literature has reported that the intermediary may play an important set of functions for R&D projects not limited to the search of partners. This thesis is therefore mainly concerned with the influence of innovation intermediaries in the context of collaborative R&D projects, suggesting a conceptual framework on the role of intermediaries. The framework emphasises that R&D collaboration goes beyond dyadic relationships usually highlighted in the literature. The roles of intermediaries provide an important additional dimension in collaborative R&D projects. The empirical part of the thesis explored three case studies: Force for Elastomers, from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil; the Orange Service Call and Reward project undertaken by the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) for Orange; and the StarStream project from the University of Southampton, both in the United Kingdom. The results confirmed the influence of innovation intermediaries in most of the critical elements of a R&D project. The study advances the understanding of the influence of intermediaries for the beginning of a new project between partners. The analyses also show that intermediaries influence especially through the search for possible partners and the management of the relationship. However, the activities of research and knowledge production as well as activities of development and prototyping were not directly influenced by intermediaries. The stage after R&D, when the partners had reached positive results from activities, received a major influence from intermediaries who helped the firms to protect the inventions and to value and commercialize the new technology. Research outcomes still reveal that there is still a lack of measurements about intermediaries’ effectiveness and therefore firms involved in partnerships cannot fully evaluate their role.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Economic development depends on a number of variables, including the ability of the economy to innovate technologically. Innovation depends to a large extent on the value, both qualitative and quantitative, of the research and development (R&D) happening in an economy. R&D in turn require various activities and inputs, including human resources, capital and infrastructure. The focus of this study is on the alternatives available to the public sector for funding public R&D. Most of the current public R&D infrastructure comes from the fiscus, which is strained under the pressure of many competing and immediate needs. An alternate model for funding public R&D infrastructure is that of public private partnerships (PPPs), which are private sector-supported initiatives for delivery of public goods and services. These are used all over the world to deliver public services with a high degree of success in sectors such as health (hospitals and services) and transport (roads, airports). This study looks at how this model can be applied in the delivery of public R&D infrastructure, which has not been popular in South Africa to date. A questionnaire was designed to look at five key areas for investigation with regard to R&D infrastructure, namely: the type of infrastructure as a determinant for the success of the PPP; the perception regarding the risk of the transaction; the incentives available to the private participants; the availability of capital in the market; and the effect of regulations on the transaction. These are investigated through the use of a questionnaire to get responses from people who have an understanding of PPP transactions in the country. The results show that R&D PPPs are possible and should be explored. One of the main reasons why they are currently not popular is because they are under-explored. The respondents felt that: the PPP regulations may have to be changed or adapted to be effective in the administration of PPP transactions; the risks for R&D PPPs seem to be high; sufficient capital exists to fund these transactions; the type of the infrastructure being financed is not necessarily a hindrance; and there are sufficient incentives for the private sector to participate in these transactions.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ekonomiese ontwikkeling hang af van 'n aantal veranderlikes, onder andere die ekonomie se vermoë om tegnologies te innoveer. Sodanige innovasie word in 'n groot mate bepaal deur die waarde, beide kwalitatief en kwantitatief, van die navorsing en ontwikkeling wat binne die ekonomie plaasvind. Navorsing en ontwikkeling vereis weer verskeie aktiwiteite en insette, waaronder menslike hulpbronne, kapitaal en infrastruktuur. Hierdie studie fokus op alternatiewe wat vir die openbare sektor beskikbaar is ten opsigte van die befondsing van openbare navorsing en ontwikkeling. Die huidige openbare navorsing- en ontwikkelinginfrastruktuur kom hoofsaaklik van die fiskus, wat weens verskeie mededingende en dringende behoeftes onder druk is. 'n Publieke-private venootskap (PPV) bied 'n moontlike alternatiewe model vir befondsing van 'n openbare navorsing- en ontwikkelinginfrastruktuur. Openbare goedere en dienste word hiervolgens gelewer deur middel van inisiatiewe wat deur die privaatsektor ondersteun word. Die model word wêreldwyd baie suksesvol aangewend in sektore soos gesondheid (hospitale en dienste) en vervoer (paaie, lughawens). Hierdie studie ondersoek hoe die model toegepas kan word in die skep van 'n openbare navorsing- en ontwikkelinginfrastruktuur in Suid-Afrika, hoewel dit tot dusver nie hier gewild was nie. 'n Vraelys is ontwerp om vyf sleutelareas ten opsigte van navorsing- en ontwikkelinginfrastruktuur te ondersoek, naamlik: tipe infrastruktuur as 'n determinant vir die sukses van die PPV; persepsie aangaande risiko met betrekking tot die transaksie; aansporing wat aan private deelnemers gebied word; beskikbaarheid van kapitaal in die mark en die uitwerking van regulasies op die transaksie. Hierdie vraelys is aangewend om reaksie te verkry van persone wat begrip van publieke-private ondernemings in die land het. Die resultate wys dat PPV's binne 'n navorsing- en ontwikkelinginfrastruktuur moontlik is en verder ondersoek behoort te word. Een van die hoofredes waarom dit tans nie gewild is nie, is die gebrek aan toepaslike navorsing. Respondente het aangedui dat: PPV regulasies moontlik verander of aangepas sal moet word om effektief te wees in die administrasie van sodanige transaksies; die risiko's vir PPV's in navorsing en ontwikkeling hoog voorkom; voldoende kapitaal vir befondsing van transaksies beskikbaar is; die tipe infrastruktuur wat befondsing ontvang nie noodwendig 'n hindernis is nie en dat voldoende aansporing vir die privaatsektor gebied word om aan hierdie transaksies deel te neem.

Full textIn light of the increasingly complex sustainability problems facing local and global communities, and the need to improve the scientific basis for decision making, sustainability science elevates the role of research collaborations and communication among scientists and stakeholders in developing solutions. Although many universities are heeding the calls for collaborative research and are making progress on bringing diverse groups together to address sustainability issues, disconnections between the production of knowledge and its actual use in society persist. These persistent divisions indicate that we still have a great deal to learn about how to develop university-stakeholder partnerships that facilitate collaboration between the various actors in society.
Building successful, enduring research partnerships is essential for improving links between knowledge and action. The overarching question addressed in this dissertation is: "In the quest to develop sustainable solutions, what factors may strengthen or hinder the development of robust stakeholder-university research partnerships?" In answering this question, I interrogate the role of communication in partnership development, the influence of communication practices on stakeholder and researcher interactions, and ways that we can use interdisciplinary forms of and approaches to research to improve communication with partners. The goal of this research is to improve university and community capacity for collaborative, problem-focused research to address pressing societal problems.
Using quantitative and qualitative survey data from the Maine Municipal Official Survey and the Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement Survey, each chapter addresses the overarching research question in different ways. In the first and second chapters, I develop theoretically and empirically supported statistical models to identify a set of factors influencing officials' reported interest in developing a community-university research partnership and factors influencing officials' participation preferences in community-university research partnerships, respectively. The models strengthen the capacity for co-learning by providing data on interest and preference alignment between potential project partners, and they provide data on stakeholder preferences and experiences that may improve communication between partners and inform partnership interactions. The third chapter bridges interdisciplinary theories from social psychology and communication to deepen the conversation about justice in community-university research partnerships. The dissertation concludes with lessons learned about developing community-university research partnerships.

Full textThe development of the economy together with the population growth and the corresponding increase of purchasing power generate an increase in consumption and, consequently, affect factors and services which have direct relationship with the basic sanitation services in a city. An example of such service is urban solid waste management. From this context, the research is developed in connection with the evolution in quality and efficiency of reverse logistics of urban solid waste. Therefore, after observing how reverse logistics is currently being executed in two Brazilian cities (Fortaleza, State of Cearà and Osasco, State of SÃo Paulo), quantitative and qualitative management optimization procedures are suggested. In other words, such optimization procedures suggest that traditional management models currently used in public administration can enhance performance and efficiency if appropriate mathematical, computational and managerial tools are used. A mathematical model was formulated capable to accomplish an optimized quantitative analysis for the location of facilities within the ambit of reverse logistics and, then, it was indicated which is the best type of public management so that the proposed model is used with high performance and efficiency. To optimize solutions in the context of urban solid waste management, linear programming techniques are used. A computer program developed for this research was used to perform the simulations. The efficiency and versatility of the computer program were evaluated through the analysis of several examples for determining the optimized location of facilities in Fortaleza and in Osasco. Operational research is the basis for the construction of the mathematical model while the public-private partnership management model is the indication of the type of appropriate management so that the aforementioned mathematical and computational tool may present optimized solutions in the proposed reverse logistics urban solid waste management model.

This new market combines the researche and purchase innovative product, service or works and that are unavailable on the market. This present work aims firstly to demonstrate the contractual originality of the innovation partenschip approaching the economic and competitive reality of the market and, on the other hand the illusion of a novelty in the public procurement procedures, insofar as this procedure approximates the existing procedures notably the competitive dialogue and the former markets negotialted with publicity and competitive tendering. Similarly, the innovation partnerschip raises many questions of legal status of intellectual property, the distribution of risk, and so on, and the introduction of a genuine innovation procedure of fluidfication of the procurement of innovative public procurement

Resumo: O presente trabalho traz uma análise crítica da abordagem de inovação aberta (IA) e tem como objetivo analisar e caracterizar práticas colaborativas em inovação identificadas no setor de higiene pessoal, perfumaria e cosméticos (HPPC), procurando definir os desafios que se configuram a partir da necessidade de desenvolvimento de novas competências e rotinas organizacionais, a fim de operacionalizar estratégias deliberadamente focadas no estabelecimento de parcerias em pesquisa e desenvolvimento (P&D), como é o caso da inovação aberta (IA). Para tanto, inicialmente foi feita uma revisão da literatura de IA de modo a desmistificar seu conceito, elencar suas formas de aplicação e identificar diferentes níveis de implementação. Posteriormente, analisamos a estrutura, dinâmica e condicionantes da inovação no setor de HPPC. Em seguida, caracterizamos práticas colaborativas em P&D e inovação estabelecidas entre empresas do setor a partir da análise de 43 casos. Analisamos também no Brasil e na França esforços empreendidos por associações industriais e governo de institucionalização do apoio ao estabelecimento de parcerias no setor. A fim de identificar e caracterizar práticas de gestão destas parcerias realizamos uma pesquisa exploratória com dez organizações e um estudo de caso em profundidade da empresa brasileira Natura. A partir da análise da implementação de uma estratégia de IA nesta empresa, pudemos identificar passos que compõem o processo de desenvolvimento de novas competências e rotinas organizacionais necessárias à sua implementação e, mais especificamente, ao acesso e gerenciamento de diversas fontes externas de inovação. Usamos como arcabouço teórico para realizar esta análise a visão baseada em recursos e a abordagem de capacidades dinâmicas (CD). Argumentamos que o desenvolvimento dessas competências e rotinas requer a mobilização de CD da firma num processo de reconfiguração de recursos e aprendizagem. Dentre as competências a serem desenvolvidas, destacamos as capacidades relacionais, especialmente necessárias no caso de empresas que lidam com uma vasta gama de atores, como é o caso da Natura. Como principais conclusões deste trabalho, acreditamos que a IA, uma abordagem que une práticas de busca de fontes externas de inovação, assim como de uso alternativo de tecnologias próprias não incorporadas ao negócio da empresa, é aplicável ao setor de HPPPC, dada sua dinâmica de inovação, desde que sejam realizados esforços para a estruturação e formalização desta estratégia. Destacamos alguns pontos nesse sentido. Primeiramente, é fundamental ter uma área dedicada à gestão de parcerias, sendo importante que esta seja apoiada pelas interfaces internas. Em segundo lugar, se faz necessário um processo de avaliação das parcerias. Finalmente, é crucial a manutenção de um P&D interno estável e contínuo, assim como o nível elevado da capacidade técnica das pessoas envolvidas nas atividades de P&D, na busca por oportunidades externas e na condução das parcerias. Afinal, só é possível extrair valor das oportunidades identificadas e das parcerias estabelecidas quando se tem a capacidade de absorção dos resultados provenientes destas interações
Abstract: This work provides a critical analysis of the open innovation approach and aims to analyze and characterize the collaborative innovation practices identified in the cosmetics and toiletries (C&T) industry, seeking to define the challenges that emerge from the need to develop new competences and organizational routines in order to implement strategies deliberately focused on building partnerships in research and development (R&D), as is the case of open innovation (OI). Therefore, we firstly reviewed the literature about OI in order to demystify the concept, list its application forms and identify its different levels of implementation. Subsequently, we assessed the structure, dynamics and current innovation drivers in the C&T industry. Secondly, we identified and characterized R&D and innovation collaborative practices established between companies in the industry by analyzing 43 cases. We also analyzed Brazilian and French industry associations and government efforts aimed at supporting the institutionalization of partnerships in the C&T industry. In order to identify and characterize management practices of these partnerships we performed an exploratory research with ten organizations and an in depth case study of the Brazilian company Natura. By analyzing the implementation of an OI strategy in this company, we were able to identify steps that comprise the process of developing the necessary competences and organizational routines, especially to access and manage a wide range of external sources of innovation. In order to perform this analysis, we used the resource-based view and the dynamic capabilities approach (DC) as theoretical framework. We argue that the development of these competences and routines requires the mobilization of DC of the firm in a process of resources reconfiguration and organizational learning. Among the skills to be developed, we highlight the firm's relational capabilities, especially needed by companies dealing with a wide range of actors, as is the case of Natura. As main conclusions of this work, we believe that OI, an approach which unifies practices for searching external sources of innovation as well as for establishing alternative paths to market for internal technologies unsuitable to the firm's business model, is applicable to this industry, given its innovation dynamics, though efforts should be made for the structuring and formalization of this strategy. We highlight some points that we consider essential in this regard. Firstly, it is fundamental to have a dedicated function to the partnerships management, and it is utterly important that it be supported by the different internal interfaces. Secondly, an evaluating process of the partnerships is necessary. Finally, it is crucial that a stable and continuous internal R&D be maintained, as well as the high level of expertise of persons engaged in R&D activities, in looking for opportunities, and in the conduct of external partnerships. After all, the firm can only extract value of the identified opportunities and partnerships when it has the adequate absorptive capacity to internalize the results of these interactions

Full textHighly dynamic, complex and involving high-tech environments, with knowledge and resources distributed among different agents resources, stimulate partnership agreements, which become a mean of transferring knowledge and technology, and access to complementary assets and achieve innovation. In this work, the question is how the partnership agreements and their management, more specifically, the agreements of the Productive Development Partnerships (PDPs), can improve the performance of Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) activities in the area of drugs and medicines. The relevance of the research is to conduct a qualitative study in order to contribute to previous theoretical, quantitative and qualitative studies about alliances in the pharmaceutical sector, and also to expand this understanding for PDPs, which are strategic to the Economic Industrial Complex of Health (CEIS) in Brazil, as they stimulate the domestic production of medicines to meet the Unified System of Health (SUS) demands. In order to study this issue, we choose to map the PDPs in the pharmaceutical biotechnology sector, as this is a highly complex and multidisciplinary knowledge sector, characterized by the distribution of knowledge and resources among the agents that needs to establish partnerships to access these resources and seek complementary capabilities. It is also worth to note the fact that the Brazilian government has chosen the biotechnology sector as one of the central axes of its industrial policy through various incentive programs. For this study we choose the methodology of multiple case studies. PDPs were selected from two large organizations. Directors and managers were interviewed (hierarchical levels 2 and 3). It was concluded that there is a positive relationship between the partnership agreements and the good performance in the RD&I activities of the organizations involved in this study, since there is a good management capacity of the agreements by the partners. It was also concluded that good management capacity of these agreements increases the credibility of these organizations, putting them in a competitive position in the national market. Additionally, it was possible to identify that the good performance of the PDPs tends to guarantee the production of medicines in the national market, meeting the demands of the SUS and contributing to the development of the CEIS. In this study, it was also possible to confirm the evidences from previous studies that demonstrated the importance of the trust relationship between the partners for the good performance of partnerships

Full textSyftet med studien är att undersöka och problematisera hur Sida och Afrikagrupperna arbetar med hiv och aids i Sydafrika utifrån den postkoloniala kritik som riktats mot denna typ av arbete. Fokus ligger på de problem och dilemman som finns i utvecklingssamarbetet med Sydafrika. För att få en djupare förståelse och ytterligare ett perspektiv sammanför vi den postkoloniala teorin med teorier om hälsa. I det postkoloniala kapitlet behandlas bland andra Maria Eriksson Baaz och Pal Ahluwalias teorier om hur kolonialismen har skapat strukturer som påverkar Afrikabilden både i västvärlden och i Afrika idag. I teorin om hälsa utgår vi ifrån bland andra Deborah Lupton som menar att folkhälsa har en stark inverkan på politiska och sociala strukturer som fungerar som ett moraliserande system och påverkar hur vi ser på oss själva. För att få en förståelse och kunna problematisera ämnet ytterligare har vi tagit del av de dokument och policys som ligger till grund för Sida och Afrikagruppernas hiv och aidsarbete i Sydafrika. Dessa dokument analyseras och sammanförs med de intervjuer som har genomförts med Sidas och Afrikagruppernas anställda både i Sverige och i Sydafrika. Studien har, förutom att tydliggöra utvecklingssamarbetets komplexitet, också bland annat visat på att de strukturer skapade utifrån bilden av Afrika fortfarande påverkar biståndsarbetet på olika sätt och att västvärldens syn på hälsa i sin tur påverkar synen på Afrika. Sverige har definierat sitt utvecklingsarbete som ett partnerskap och studien visar att Sverige i jämförelse med andra länder ligger långt fram i detta arbete, men att det fortfarande finns brister.
The purpose of the study is to examine and problemize how Sida and the Africa Groups of Sweden´s work with HIV/AIDS in South Africa considering the post-colonial critique that has been directed at this type of work. Focus is on the problems and dilemmas that exist is the development work with South Africa. To get a deeper understanding and further perspectives we bring the post-colonial theory together with health theories. In the post-colonial chapter are Maria Eriksson Baaz and Pal Ahluwalias theories about how the colonial era has created structures that influence how one look at Africa today being discussed. In the health theory Deborah Lupton, amongst others, argues that public health has a strong effect on political and social structures that functions as a norm building system and influence how we view ourselves. To get an understanding and to be able to further problemize the material we have examined documents and policies that are the basis for Sida and the Africa Groups of Sweden´s work with HIV and AIDS in South Africa. These documents are being analysed and brought together with interviews that have been conducted with employees of Sida and the Africa Groups of Sweden in both Sweden and South Africa. The study has, except to elucidate the complexity of the development work, also shown, among other things, that the structures created due to the image of Africa still effects the aid work on different levels and that the western view on public health influence the image of Africa. The Swedish development work has been defined as a partnership and the study shows that Sweden, in comparison with other countries lies far ahead in this work, but that there still are shortages.

Full textThis is a case study of how the Swedish migrant policy is cross-sectorally translated into the regional development policy area: at national, regional and municipal levels. The study describes and analyzes first how the idea of integration through mainstreaming is translated into the regional development policy. Secondly it conducts an in-depth analysis of the Regional Growth Partnership in the region of Östergötland as well as various municipality based growth partnerships. Finally, the results are compared with the development of other Regional Growth Partnerships (21 in total) in Sweden. The thesis shows that there were high ambitions for implementing the idea of mainstreaming integration, including the use of network governance. This also was reflected in other objectives and decisions. But when these goals and decisions were to be transformed into activities, the mainstreaming they were not completed. All actors refrained from implementing the proposed mainstreaming model; but some did implement various forms of side-stream measures for migrants. The thesis reveals large differences between different actors and contexts. In some cases, they were close to meeting the requirements of mainstreaming, in others they chose not to try at all. The thesis also shows that hindrances to translations were negatively related to the categorizations of immigrants, lack of management skills and resources and a lack of knowledge about how to mainstream integration of immigrants.

Full textIn international development cooperation of today there is a great multitude of NGOs in Developing countries that are financed by Western donors. Facing criticism of imperialism and lack of local anchorage the concept of partnership has been introduced which is based on mutual cooperation where the local partner is the one responsible to define problems and implement the work. The Swedish International Development Agency - Sida has practised partnership for over ten years. This study looks at the perception and function of this policy from Swedish organizations point of view by interviewing representatives from four organisations working under Sida cooperating with foreign partners. Findings reveals a great difference between aim and reality where the equality partnership refers to is absent. The main obstacles were to create an open dialogue and that Sida turn down applications based on local needs as they don’t fit their current trends. Power-inequalities created by economic resources cannot be ignored and the traditional roles of donor and receiver with a paternalistic undertone persists. The partnership approach needs to be reconsidered in terms of definition and extent if it is to be realistic and beneficial for both parts.

Full textEconomic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) put an end to the preferential non-reciprocal commercial treatment from the European Union (EU) to African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries, in force since 1975 and until December 2007 (the deadline for EPAs deals). Negotiations are being challenging as only a small number of countries have closed full EPAs with EU by now, on the grounds that EPAs are missing their development goal. This dissertation intends to analyse EPAs negotiation round, evaluate to which extend the agreements are delivering on their promise to be pro-development tools for ACP countries, and access ways in which this delivery can be fostered.
Os Acordos de Parceira Económica (APEs) encerram um período alargado de tratamento comercial preferencial e não-recíproco da União Europeia (UE) aos países de África, Caraíbas e Pacífico (ACP), vigente entre 1975 e Dezembro 2007 (data final para conclusão dos APEs). O processo negocial tem-se revelado difícil e apenas um reduzido número de países concluiu APEs totais à data, invocando que os referidos acordos descuram os objectivos de desenvolvimento a que se haviam proposto. Assim sendo, esta dissertação propõe-se analisar os processos de negociação em curso, avaliar em que medida os APEs constituem instrumentos que visam o desenvolvimento dos países ACP, e encontrar formas de potenciar ou calibrar os APEs como efectivos instrumentos pro-desenvolvimento.

Full textGlobalization has had a tremendous impact on society. While creating opportunity for corporations to expand into new markets, globalization has also created significant negative repercussions to the environment, human rights, health, and education (Reece, 2001). In the past twenty-five years Cross-Sector Social Partnerships (CSSPs) have emerged as a possible solution to the negative impacts from globalization with mixed results (Nidumolu, Ellison, Whalen, & Billman, 2014) Although there are inherent challenges, the case for corporations and the public sector to continue to work together is compelling. By contributing their technical expertise and financial resources, companies can leverage the public sector’s experience, knowledge networks, know-how and legitimacy to begin addressing large-scale global issues that directly impact society as well as their businesses. This study gathered data from interviewing nine participants. Interview questions were designed to answer the primary research question: Are there consistent best practices in CSSP governance? Findings from the study identified three best practices: formal governance, strategy, and stakeholder management. Additionally a CSSP Governance Framework was defined consisting of three categories: structure and processes, relationships, and governance dynamics. The result of the study is a flexible and adaptable framework for CSSPs that integrate the use of governance as one tool that increases the likelihood of positive partnership outcomes.
