Our synthesis was undertaken in seven iter<strong>at</strong>ive steps:<br />

� (1) Reading, annot<strong>at</strong>ing and extracting d<strong>at</strong>a from all retained public<strong>at</strong>ions and websites th<strong>at</strong><br />

pertain to PR processes and contexts;<br />

� (2) Identifying predictable p<strong>at</strong>terns of PR outcomes (‘demi-regularities’);<br />

� (3) Mapping partnership lifecycles and constructing (CMO) configur<strong>at</strong>ions th<strong>at</strong> explain PR<br />

outcomes in the chronology of partnership events;<br />

� (4) Sorting CMO configur<strong>at</strong>ions according to demi-regularities;<br />

� (5) refining CMO configur<strong>at</strong>ions, with particular <strong>at</strong>tention to identifying the mechanisms of<br />

particip<strong>at</strong>ion;<br />

� (6) confirming or modifying our understanding of the demi-regularities based on refined<br />

CMOs;<br />

� (7) and confirming the relevance of our identified middle-range theory as applied to these<br />

CMO configur<strong>at</strong>ions.<br />
