Management, officially, has been an effective tool for humans for nearly a century. Traditional management relies on single-headed leadership, while more modern approaches emphasize plural-headed management. Participation, a key component of plural-headed management, has been recognized as a strategy to enhance cooperation in organizations for over fifty years, particularly since the 1960s. However, additional aspects of the concept need to be considered to foster synergy. Recently, new methods for involving people in organizational operations have been proposed, including empowerment management and engagement management. Collaboration management is among these. Collaboration has become a crucial element in various fields, including business, education, healthcare, and government sectors. However, some unclear concepts and practices in collaboration management require clarification. This paper aims to explore the various dimensions of collaboration, including its processes, benefits, challenges, and factors that influence effective efforts. By reviewing existing literature and case studies, this paper seeks to provide a foundational understanding of the role of collaboration in organizational management and success. Key findings will include the introduction, evolution, significance, emerging approaches in collaboration management, and the conclusion with implications.
