Collaboration companies are better companies

It is true, it has actually been studied. There was a study released today Collaboration is a key driver of business performance that clearly shows that those whom collaborate have a better business. In one sense, this might be considered a topic for master mind of the bleeding obvious - however it is really interesting that some do not consider collaboration and sharing important to their business.
To me, the origins of a "company" is a group of people collaborating around a set of objectives and thus the foundation rather than just a driver. So, without proper collaboration there would be no company or business.
