Abstract: Enterprise transformation inevitably requires knowledge that is
neither resident in nor immediately available from outside the enterprise.
Among the alternatives for obtaining this required knowledge is a collaborative
research relationship between a university-based research team and the
stakeholders involved in transformation. This chapter discusses some of the key
issues in creating and sustaining such a relationship.
