“…The literature shows that entrepreneurial collaboration engagement by organizations striving for global competitiveness is left ambiguous because models of organizational synergy rely heavily upon organizational commitment and leadership. This tendency is ill-suited to collaborating entrepreneurs who are typically not employees and are averse to positional leadership, especially as a personal aspiration in the pursuit of innovation (Dickel & Graeff, 2016;Frigotto, 2016;Kempster & Cope, 2010;Oketch, 2004;Namjoofard, 2014;Wong, 1992). Compared to conventional hierarchical organizational structures that employ conventional worker archetypes, understanding how social cohesion can be exploited to optimize positive synergy in entrepreneurial collaboration is necessary to avoid wasting organizational resources, especially time and money.…”

This paper develops a methodological framework to review the literature relevant to the implications of social cohesion for entrepreneurs collaborating in the pursuit of innovation. The framework is then used to understand the current state of the art for that phenomenon. Thirdly, a theoretical model is developed for areas of concern in the stewardship of collaborating entrepreneurs. The abstracts of 631 academic resources between 1950 and 2020 are analyzed using Webster and Watson’s (MIS Quarterly, 26(2):xiii–xxiii, 2002) methodology. Sixty-four salient resources are identified and critically analyzed, categorizing research methodology, subject area, and additional, pertinent bibliometrics. Entrepreneurial collaboration is an emerging field of research that draws from a variety of disciplines and requires clarification in its use of terminology for both entrepreneurial collaboration and social cohesion. In addition to making those clarifications, the tendency of managers to maintain a hands-off approach in their oversight of entrepreneurial cadres is challenged. The theoretical model provides a useful overview of related concepts for future research and encourages managers to rethink their agency as necessary and not as a matter of interference. This paper contributes to the growing field of entrepreneurial collaboration by proposing the moderation of social cohesion as a means to sustain innovation.
