Microfoundations of Partnerships: Exploring the Role of Employees in Trickle Effects
Abstract
The growing body of literature
on partnerships has paid most attention to their implications at the
macro level, for society, as well as the meso level, for the partnering
organisations. While generating many valuable insights, what has
remained underexposed is the micro level, i.e. the role of managers and
employees in partnerships, and how their actions and interactions can
have an effect on the spread and potential effectiveness of
collaborative efforts. This article uses a case-study approach to
empirically explore the patterns and potential boundary conditions of
so-called ‘trickle effects’ of partnerships among individual actors
within and outside partnering companies, which have thus far only been
proposed conceptually. Based on interviews with employees from three
different companies, we found an evidence of trickle-down and trickle-up
effects with higher and lower management, as well as trickle-round
effects with colleagues, family, friends and customers. The article
discusses several partnership characteristics that seem to play a role,
and notes implications for research and practice.

Enhancing the Impact of Cross-Sector Partnerships
Abstract
This paper addresses the topic
of this special symposium issue: how to enhance the impact of
cross-sector partnerships. The paper takes stock of two related
discussions: the discourse in cross-sector partnership research on how
to assess impact and the discourse in impact assessment research on how
to deal with more complex organizations and projects. We argue that
there is growing need and recognition for cross-fertilization between
the two areas. Cross-sector partnerships are reaching a paradigmatic
status in society, but both research and practice need more thorough
evidence of their impacts and of the conditions under which these
impacts can be enhanced. This paper develops a framework that should
enable a constructive interchange between the two research areas, while
also framing existing research into more precise categories that can
lead to knowledge accumulation. We address the preconditions for such a
framework and discuss how the constituent parts of this framework
interact. We distinguish four different pathways or impact loops that
refer to four distinct orders of impact. The paper concludes by applying
these insights to the four papers included in this special issue.
