Abstract
Purpose – The aim of this paper is to explore the concept of intersectoral collaboration and to compile context-sensitive framework for further research in the field. In scientific discourse, intersectoral collaboration is recognized as an instrument for overcoming complexity of issues in public and private sectors due to its successful application in many cases. However, it cannot give its full advantages due to the lack of understanding regarding the main affecting factors, most recent obstacles as well as different contexts throughout its application. Perceived effectiveness of intersectoral collaboration might be reached with a help of aggregated and professionally applied scientific investigations in the field considering specific features of particular discourses. Design/methodology/approach – Inductive review of scientific literature as well as theoretical modelling methods were applied. Findings –Research limitations/implications – Recent literature revealed that the content of the intersectoral collaboration concept did not change significantly. The scientific discourse has been complemented by more methodological and practical observations that allow to improve collaboration management and processes and enhance possibility to achieve planned joint goal of multilateral initiative. Nevertheless, there is still insufficient literature that explains what issues are a) common for explicit collaboration and b) critical for performance in practice. In mostly, intersectoral collaboration analysis is based on successful cases. It would be useful to consider not only key success factors but also why intersectoral collaboration fails. Practical implications – In scientific discourse intersectoral collaboration is recognized as an instrument for overcoming complexity of issues in public and private sectors and NGOs due to its successful application in many cases. However, it cannot give its full advantages due to the weak understanding regarding the main affecting factors, most recent obstacles as well as different contexts throughout its application process. Perceived effectiveness of intersectoral collaboration might be reached with a help of aggregated and professionally applied scientific investigations in the field taking into account specific features of particular discourses. Thus, the contextual model compiled and insights on intersectoral collaboration made in the article can be used as a further research framework in the field. Originality/Value – The complexity of intersectoral collaboration was discussed and context-sensitive framework for research was presented. Keywords: intersectoral collaboration; multilateral interaction; management; leadership; success factors, research prospects. Research type: literature review, conceptual paper.

Highlights
The increasing demand for social well-being of people round the world goes in parallel with processes of tight competition in globalized value chains
In general, the authors discuss about only three influencing areas for intersectoral collaboration: external and internal environment, policy made by decision-making authorities, and management of collaboration processes and relations
When indicating outlines of intersectoral collaboration, researchers discuss three main influencing areas of intersectoral interaction: external and internal environment, policy made by decision-making authorities, and management of collaboration processes and relations
Summary
The increasing demand for social well-being of people round the world goes in parallel with processes of tight competition in globalized value chains. Devaluation of core human as well as organizational values in overall competitive environment, encompassed by various scandals due to unfair market plays, accelerated the origination of new organizational models that are applicable in continuously changing globalized environment to ensure reputation, trust and success in a long run. In all sectors and spheres of human activity the demand for fair competition in the changing micro and macro environments remain driven by such factors as technological progress, globalization of markets, diminishing role of economic constraints, accelerated rates of collaboration, emergence of creative society evolved from knowledge and information era, - increased consumer awareness and new habits. Due to the limited resources, solutions of such problems might be found via collaboration among sectors, since inter-sectoral relations might provide demanded capabilities to catalyze possible solutions
