Assessing the influence of organizational factors on knowledge sharing in inter-firm collaborations

Collaborations between media organisations are becoming an increasingly
common practice in the field of journalism. Academic research, so far,
mostly focused on large-scale investigations and communities of digital
outlets, such as fact-checkers networks. However, new types of inter-firm
partnerships are emerging, namely between legacy media and tech startups,
towards media innovation and digital transformation. The paper to which
this database is connected aims to advance the theoretical understanding
of the relationship between collaborations and media innovation. We
formulate an original analytical model to assess the influence of
organisational factors of collaborations on knowledge sharing, a key
condition for explorative innovation. Based on the experience of the
Stars4Media programme, we present an empirical application of the
analytical model (based on this data-set) to a case study of thirty
collaborative projects involving seventy-six European media companies.
