Developing state-university collaboration is the process of creating mechanisms to couple two systems for mutual benefit. Collaboration requires setting new organizational boundaries for both the state agency and the university and developing new patterns of information flow within and between the organizations. Each organization's homeostatic properties resist change; this resistance must be balanced by leaders' attention to the organization's developmental needs. The impact of collaboration increases tremendously after key thresholds of involvement are attained and a "critical mass" of faculty exerts a synergistic effect that shifts both the state agency and the university department to new functional states.
发展州立大学合作关系是创建机制将两个系统结合起来以实现互利的过程。合作关系需要为州政府机构和大学设定新的组织边界，并在组织内部和组织之间发展新的信息流模式。每个组织的自身稳定性都抵制变革；这种抵制必须通过领导者对组织发展需求的关注来平衡。当达到参与的关键阈值并形成一股“关键力量”发挥协同效应，使州政府机构和大学院系都转变到新的功能状态时，合作的影响会大大增加。
