And yet smart organizations have found big payoffs in collaborations that not only share costs and risks but also rewards. Stanford's April 29 conference, Collaboration for the Greater Good: Social and Environmental Responsibility in the Global Supply Chain, will explore how innovative collaborations between businesses, nonprofits, and governments can solve social and environmental problems while maintaining or even enhancing profits.
