Drawing from a wide range of literature and empirical studies, it offers novel insights into how businesses establish, grow, and manage relationships with partners to support strategic change. The book discusses the advantages of collaborating with partners and leveraging shared resources while effectively managing relational risks. It highlights key relational processes such as organizational intelligence, open culture, knowledge sharing routines, motivation, co-creation, and communication. The book explores specific focus areas, including the longevity of family firms, improving health and safety in medical services, crisis management, public administration reforms, and relational risk management.

This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers and students in the fields of organizational studies, organizational change, technology, and innovation management.
