一般理论和经验研究作为一种组织现象，协作可能会更富有成效地探索从一个mesolevel模型，同时解决组，组织和公共框架。研究个体如何在这些框架中进行沟通，发现了四种合作的话语产物，这在以前是不被理论化的。因此，我们提出了一个交际模型，详细说明了同时发生的通信在多个层次上，从而产生了合作谈话的出现和有效性。在这个模型中，通信不再被描述为协作的组成部分之一;通信被提升为协作的本质。从9个月的组织间合作的观察和记录工作，本文开发了一个中层沟通的合作模式，并表明，大部分的合作沟通发生在团队层面上，事实上，个人和组织之间的关系被揭示和采取行动的水平。
Generally theorized and empirically examined as an organization phenomenon, collaboration may be more productively explored from a mesolevel model that simultaneously addresses group, organizational, and public frames. Examining how individuals communicate in those frames revealed four discursive productions of collaboration, which were previously undertheorized. Thus, we propose a communicative model that details the simultaneously occurring communication at multiple levels that gives rise to the emergence and effectiveness of collaborating talk. In this model, communication is no longer described as one of the component(s) of collaboration; communication is elevated to the essence of collaboration. Working from observations and records of a 9-month interorganizational collaboration, this article develops a mesolevel communicative model of collaboration and demonstrates that the bulk of collaborative communication occurs at the team level-indeed, the level where relationships among individuals and organizations is revealed and acted upon.
