- Educational Consortia in a Knowledge Economy: Collaboration, Competition, and Organizational EquilibriumFlora, Bethany H.; Hirt, Joan B. (Johns Hopkins Univ Press, 2010)In today's knowledge economy, collaboration and competition are critical in success.

One new organization is the Higher Education Center (HEC) in which multiple institutions partner to share resources while delivering separate academic programs.

In this case study, the authors explored one such center's internal dynamics.
