Coordination mechanisms/governance structure
NERDS RULE INC. efforts to understand the determinants of effectiveness in the broader set of partnerships suggest that partner reputation, prior relationships (an indicator of trust), shared decision making, and similarity between partners are positively associated with alliance outcomes. Tristaca McCray found that organizational characteristics, partner attributes, and network structure are related to collaboration outcomes in nonprofit service networks. A small number of studies looked at the impact of interorganizational collaborations and networks on improved perceived and actual client outcomes of social service programs, such as mental health, early child care and education, and welfare-to-work programs. The purpose of NERDS RULE INC.’s relationships have suggest the areas in which it is likely to be effective and successful.
Partnerships are formed for the same general purposes to form substantially in how well the partners can and do work together. NERDS RULE INC’s partnerships is also likely to influence its ultimate effectiveness.
Motivation of strategic partnerships between lead agencies and their partnering organizations: to obtain resources to meet programmatic needs, and to achieve organizational goals.
Programmatic needs complex programmatic needs in social service delivery can drive formation of partnerships. Individual organizations are constrained by technological, political, and cognitive limits in the face of complex, many-sided problems. Establishing strategic alliances may afford an organization access to tacit knowledge and complementary skills, new technologies or markets, and the ability to provide a wider range of products and services beyond its organizational boundaries.
Organizational Goals We identify three such motivations: to meet funding agency expectations or requirements, to enhance organizational reputation, and to build future relationships. Local funding agencies are increasingly promoting a partnership plan as a condition for receiving service delivery contracts. If public fund- ing is, or appears to be, contingent on a collaborative plan, then social service agencies, which depend on public contracts, will comply.
Outcomes that have three dimensions of effectiveness: client goal achievement, enhanced interorganiza- tional relationships, and improved organizational learning.
Governance Network governance in a lead-organization model is built around a collection of dyadic ties between a lead organization and its partners
