AB  - "In this chapter we will demonstrate that samhandling has a different  qualitative meaning from other similar concepts. The term “samhandling” is used  by many organizations, researchers and textbook authors without clarifying the  rationale for its use (Torgersen & Steiro, 2009). The word samhandling is built on  a distinct cultural foundation. Therefore, we think it is necessary to describe Norwegian  culture briefly, to enable the reader to understand the basis of samhandling.  The chapter presents a definition of samhandling that was originally presented by  Torgersen & Steiro (2009). Samhandling is distinguished from cooperation/teamwork  by three core attributes which we can call the identity of samhandling: focus  on complementarity, exchange and utilization of the participants’ various skills,  experiences, backgrounds and cultures, and coordination of these factors in efforts  towards a common goal in a work situation or meeting. Samhandling has a higher  relative ambition level than the corresponding processes covered by the expressions  “collaboration”, “cooperation” and “coordination”. Increased complexity and  relations between stakeholders call for a focus on complementary handling in action,  that is, samhandling. The following competencies were identified in order for  good samhandling to occur: trust, assurance, well-being, belonging, clarity, time  and tolerance."
