The textbook reading discusses four different modes of collaboration. Using the organization you researched for the Module One discussion (or you can research another example of a successful innovation), discuss which mode of collaboration best describes the strategy used by that organization for its technological innovation. How do you think the collaboration most benefited the technological innovation? Did the collaboration impede the technological innovation in any meaningful manner? In responding to your peers, compare and contrast the benefits and the risks of the collaboration.
