“…Cross-sectoral collaboration is defined as collaboration with different types of organisations from two or more sectors facilitating new ways of value creation [50,64]. Most research efforts focus on the benefits and challenges of dyadic relationships between (1) public sector organisations and companies [48,65,66]; and (2) civil society organisations and companies [50,67,68], including non-governmental organisations [69], and higher education institutions [70,71].…”

The complex sustainability challenges that society faces require organisations to engage in collaborative partnerships. Stakeholders affect, and are affected by an organisation’s sustainability activities, making it an important element when deciding with whom to collaborate. A large number of studies have focussed on collaboration for sustainability, especially on vertical and dyadic partnerships and collaborative networks, while there is limited research on overarching collaboration activities from the perspective of individual organisations (for example, the Kyosei approach), and even less that includes a stakeholder perspective. The objective of this paper is to analyse with whom individual organisations collaborate and how stakeholders affecting and being affected by sustainability efforts are considered when choosing collaboration partners. A survey was sent to a database of 5216 organisations, from which 271 responses were received. The responses were analysed using non-parametric tests. The results show that organisations are engaged in collaboration activities for sustainability, collaborating mostly with two to three external stakeholders. However, the focus on collaboration for sustainability does not extend to a point that it would lead to a change of organisational practice nor do organisations necessarily consider how stakeholders affect and are affected by their efforts when choosing their collaboration partners. An update to the Kyosei process is proposed, in order to provide guidance on how to strengthen and extend collaborative partnerships for sustainability.

“…Transnational collaboration is a critical factor in developing and sustaining learning, education, policy and research, and also requires engagement with economic, industrial, business, government, socio‐economic and cultural matters. While transnational collaboration has the potential for positive outcomes both locally and globally, it also poses unique challenges (Caniglia et al ) particularly around the mobility of health professionals across national borders.…”

In this report from the field, we describe the challenges and opportunities for nursing practice and education, and ways to improve nurse mobility across Asia. We also explain the collaboration within the Southeast and East Asian Nursing Education and Research Network to influence policy development and review. The collaborative process was supported by evidence drawn from discussions at Network meetings, and with nursing and other leaders, an examination of literature and policy documents, and member surveys. We reviewed the region’s regulatory statutes which all support diversity in the nursing workforce. The Southeast Asian Nursing Education and Research Network was established in 2015 to support policy development around the upgrading of nurse education, clinical competencies and research capacity, in hospital and primary health care; and facilitating the movement of nurses across national boundaries. Most countries have tried to address policy gaps and their efforts to implement changes are seen in policy expansion and development at the national level. We focus on two policies from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations from 2006 and 2012, that cover nurse mobility, information exchange, nurse capacity building and education and mutual professional recognition of nurses’ credentials. However, we found significant variances in education, regulatory policies and clinical competencies that have restricted, and continue to restrict policy implementation. Nursing in South‐East Asia has made significant progress in upgrading standards for education by increasing bachelor degree bridging programs, master and doctoral degrees. Participating countries have passed legislation on licensure, competencies and credentialing of internationally qualified nurses wishing to practice in various contexts. However, much work remains to be done. Implications for nursing policy, education and practice Governing bodies determine entry into practice law which requires dialogue to enhance policies for domestic and international practitioners for mutual exchange and recognition. Nursing practice and education are under government regulatory bodies but require new policies and laws to ensure adequate educational requirements for safe quality practice.

“…An integrated approach is needed in transnational collaboration. The comprehensive perspective is not only related to administrative or technical effort, but should also consider cultural, institutional, social and personal aspects [12].…”

The objectives of this study are to know the description of the management of international partnership in university from the perspective of good university governance, and to identify factors that effect the man-agement of international partnership. Type of the research is qualitative descriptive. The sampling technique of this study is purposive sampling. The data collection technique is by interview, observation and document re-view. Triangulation techniques was used to ensure the validity of the data. Considering the result of research, the principle of transparency has been accomplished on the mechanism that facilitates the public questions about the processes in governance; the principle of accountability has been accomplished in the distribution and grouping of work in accordance with the duties and functions principally; the principle of responsibility is not yet implemented in the management of international co-operation; the factors that support the implementation of good university governance are human resources and authority, while the inhibiting factor are the organizational structure and co-ordination systems.
