Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the important role of cross-sector partnerships and collaboration in global emergency management, relevant in situations such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and grand global challenges. Design/methodology/approach The paper utilizes exploratory historical methods and examines cross-sector partnerships from three key emerging markets – Pakistan, Turkey and Nigeria. The context of the emerging markets is important given the institutional fragility such markets encountered. Findings The authors offer a conceptual discussion that explicates the vital role of such partnerships in global emergencies. The authors also highlight the instrumental role of adaptive learning in cross-sector partnerships, which can help multiple stakeholders create and deliver value in response to an emergency like a global health pandemic caused by the COVID-19. Along with the conceptual discussion, the authors further offer practical examples of cross-sector partnerships in emerging economies of Pakistan, Turkey, and Nigeria – undertaken in response to the recent pandemic – emphasizing that such partnerships are crucial to mitigate the emergencies and their consequences on society. Finally, this paper offers theoretical and practical implications for cross-sector collaboration and partnerships in response to the global crisis. Research limitations/implications This research is limited to emerging markets context and further research is needed on this important topic. Originality/value This paper is relevant given the current global pandemic caused by the COVID-19. There are relatively limited research studies on the cross-sector partnerships and their role in global emergencies, grand challenges and global crisis, thus this paper offers important insights on cross-sector partnerships and their value creation in global crisis situations.
全球紧急情况下跨部门合作中的适应性学习:新冠肺炎大流行背景下的概念见解
目的本文的目的是研究跨部门伙伴关系和合作在全球应急管理中的重要作用,与当前新冠肺炎大流行和全球重大挑战等情况相关。设计/方法论/方法本文采用了探索性的历史方法,考察了巴基斯坦、土耳其和尼日利亚三个主要新兴市场的跨部门伙伴关系。鉴于新兴市场的体制脆弱性,新兴市场的背景很重要。发现作者提供了一个概念性讨论,阐述了这种伙伴关系在全球紧急情况中的重要作用。作者还强调了适应性学习在跨部门伙伴关系中的重要作用,这可以帮助多个利益相关者在应对新冠肺炎导致的全球卫生大流行等紧急情况时创造和提供价值。除了概念讨论外,作者还提供了巴基斯坦、土耳其和尼日利亚新兴经济体为应对最近的疫情而建立的跨部门伙伴关系的实例,强调这种伙伴关系对于缓解紧急情况及其对社会的影响至关重要。最后,本文为应对全球危机的跨部门合作和伙伴关系提供了理论和实践启示。研究局限性/含义本研究仅限于新兴市场背景,需要对这一重要主题进行进一步研究。原创/价值考虑到新冠肺炎导致的当前全球大流行,本文具有相关性。对跨部门伙伴关系及其在全球紧急情况、重大挑战和全球危机中的作用的研究相对有限,因此本文对跨部门合作关系及其在全球性危机中的价值创造提供了重要见解。
