Collaborative network - a network consisting of
a variety of entities that are largely autonomous,
geographically distributed, and heterogeneous
in operating environment, culture, social capital
and goals, but that collaborate to better achieve
common or compatible outcome
The Great Lakes Bay Business and Education
Collaborative Network is a coalition of
businesses and educational institutions working
together with the community to create a
regionally networked educational system that
provides:
– every student with the educational opportunities
that will ensure them a successful future and
