The Intersection of Collaboration Theory and Unexpected Event Management: Towards a Process Model of Project Stakeholders’ Collaboration

Baris Morkan, Patricia J. Holahan, and Linda M. Thomas

Abstract— This paper focuses on voluntary collaborative actions taken by stakeholders in response to unexpected events. This study applies the theoretical constructs of collaboration to project stakeholder management research and provides insight into stakeholder-driven collaboration for the construction project domain. After reviewing the related core theories and concepts, this paper presents a theoretical framework for the process of project stakeholder collaborations which is promoted by unexpected events. The major theoretical constructs of collaboration are discussed by drawing on the literature on interorganizational relations. Propositions are presented for guiding collaborative efforts and for investigating the application of collaboration theory to the reactive unexpected event responses of project stakeholders.

Index Terms— Collaboration, unexpected events, project stakeholders, mega construction projects.
