Organizations are often hindered by deficiencies in resources or skill sets. Partnerships provide an opportunity for the organizations to participate in cutting-edge projects that may otherwise be unrealized. Organizations may want to participate in collaborative projects to share expertise and information between specialists, allowing new work environments, management paradigms, and problem solving approaches to emerge. An AETD partnership also distributes responsibilities between organizations, which helps defray administrative costs, and staffing pressures that might otherwise be encountered. The most important benefit from an AETD partnership is acceleration in technology development.
Partnerships create opportunities to reach optimal solutions with collaborative organizations.
Another benefit is the exchange of information among specialists, which stimulates and enhances their level of expertise, thereby contributing to the overall value of the organization. Pooling diverse resources results in greater productivity as well as time and cost savings. Finally, partnerships increase quality of products for consumer markets and create more opportunities for industry workers, civil servants, and students.
