Celem artykułu jest analiza współpracy międzyorganizacyjnej w świetle teorii przedsiębiorczości organizacyjnej. Podstawowe pytanie, na które staramy się odpowiedzieć w artykule brzmi: czy współpraca może być postrzegana jako zachowanie przedsiębiorcze, a w dalszej kolejności, czy można podążać za sposobnościami poprzez współpracę i tworzenie aliasów. Wyrażająca to teza jest konfrontowana z konkurencyjną agresywnością jako jednym z wymiarów orientacji przedsiębiorczej. Omówiona została koncepcja przedsiębiorczości bazującej na współpracy oraz przedstawiona propozycja włączenia współpracy do teorii przedsiębiorczości i poddane zostały dyskusji odnoszące się do tego zalecenia dotyczące konceptualizacji i operacjonalizacji.

The aim of this paper is to examine interorganisational co-operation in view of the theory of organisational entrepreneurship. The fundamental question behind the paper is whether collaboration could be perceived as entrepreneurial behaviour and, furthermore, whether opportunities could be pursued through collaboration and creating new alliances. Such a thesis is confronted with competitive aggressiveness that is proposed as one of dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation. The concepts of collaborative entrepreneurship is described. Indications to include collaboration into the entrepreneurial theory are suggested, and some ideas of conceptualisation and operationalisation are discussed.
