Abstract

Market changes and the need to remain competitive have lead organizations to establish partnerships that allow them to share resources with each other for better handling an identified opportunity. Such associations are also established at the government level, where the limited resources are shared at the service of society’s common good. However, besides having a mutual or compatible goal, it is common that partner organizations have distinct characteristics, which may lead to several challenges to be faced. The present research explores the interorganizational relationship management. For this, this paper outlines an approach based on shared goals, making the involved organizations more transparent, integrated, prepared to interoperate their processes and information and able to develop skills to act and achieve shared goals even with existing differences. An anti-corruption partnership in Brazil illustrates the approach application.
