Thanks. In the context of a networked market in a discovery mode that would make sense, for cooperation would allow for emergent links and knowledge. In the context of a shared enterprise, I believe collaboration and cooperation are interdependent in so far as collaboration integrates purposefulness into the emergent knowledge derived from cooperative engagement. In cooperative inquiry, something I have been working with for nearly twenty years, people engaged in shared inquiry animated by a shared question (http://www.human-inquiry.com/cishortg.htm). The fruits of the inquiry typically serves the participants in personally relevant ways. This fruits of this inquiry can also be directed toward a particular purpose same inquiry can also be directed toward a shared endeavor, which adds a level of complexity to the process.

For example, a group of organizational mentors may engaged in a cooperative inquiry around the question of "How can we enhance our value as mentors to those we mentor?" After the conclusion of this particular inquiry this group may choose to develop a mentoring process derived from the fruits of their inquiry to share with other organizational mentors. In this way they shared work becomes a collaborative inquiry around the question of "How can we design a mentoring process to develop the skills and capacities of organizational mentors?"
