Sorry mate, I did try to show I was having a laugh by using the
smiley and also following it up with some serious advice.
On a serious note, asking on a bike forum for qualitative and quantitative data on collaborations (presumably between businesses, i.e., mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, etc, rather than between recording artists, as is becoming the norm in popular music culture) is probably not the best source of information but seeing as you've asked....
I'd be looking at government statistics websites as well as looking at profit / loss accounts for big companies before and after 'collaborations' to investigate if they have worked (i.e., evidenced through increased profit or market share). I'd follow this up with investigating what the success or failure of a collaboration seems to depend upon, is it increased market share? Brand awareness? The coming together of workforce intelligence? Diversification? Expansion in to emerging markets? Completely random? I could go on but I don't know what you've researched already...
Just my thoughts...
EDIT: Just seen previous posts and saw that you are looking at collaboration from a different perspective - ignore this post if not applicable!
