| Abstract: | Results are reported from an empirical study of an interorganizational collaboration to prepare underrepresented students
for elite postsecondary education and beyond. The LEAD (Leadership Education and Development) Program in Business is an initiative
involving twelve U.S. universities, nearly forty multinational corporations, a federal government agency, and a nonprofit
organization working together to introduce students to business education and careers in business. This article analyzes the
conditions that give rise to the collaboration, its essential structural characteristics, and the consequences that flow from
it.
