WORKING APART TOGETHER: Towards a typology for communities addressing wicked problems.

Presentation 2nd International New Business Model Conference 2018 In current society, we observe the emergence of new collaborative forms of organising on a regional scale in which civilians, organisations, and institutions engage in processes of collective action (Ostrom, 2009, 2010a). We refer to these novel forms of organising as communities. We set out to understand how constituents in these communities collaboratively determine their strategic objectives and subsequently plan and engage in multiple value creating activities that address wicked problems (Faber & Jonker, 2015; Weber & Khademian, 2008). The aim of this contribution is to develop a typology of regional communities trying to address wicked problems through collective action
