Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 公共行政暨政策學系 === 101 ===   This research, conducting a case study on Digital and Humanity Concern Association (DIHCA) in Taiwan, aims to explore how NPOs build up multi-stakeholder collaborative relationship to further understand the impacts of social capital. In order to provide innovative suggestions and fresh perspectives, this study adopts document analysis, in-depth interview and participant observation and the collected data is analyzed based on the integrating concepts of collaborative relationship theory, multi-stakeholder theory and social capital theory, which comprises social network and structure hole. The results show that the collaborative relationship of DIHCA can be characterized as network, multiplicity , and dynamic; network, multiplicity, and dynamic relationships are derived from the network collaboration, multiplicity collaboration, and amoeba collaboration of DIHCA respectively. I propose that these collaborative relationships consist of the essential elements such as collaborative target establishment, utilization of social capital, high flexibility of activity participation, multi-objective goal attainment, acceptance of diverse cultures, and pursuit of the neutral, objective roles for structure hole.   I furthermore argue that DIHCA in terms of various types of collaboration is rather three-dimensional than static or fixed. Some related issues that need further research are provided in this study; collaboration relationships, besides positive effects, may result in negative effects, for example, network isolation, multiple roles due to power and responsibility imbalance and excessive collaborative relationship.
