Why collaborations/companies collapse:

1.
You can't just push your workers.  Everyone has their own working pace and if you don't except that, then they probably won't do the best they can.  Don't just say you have to get this done, OR ELSE   That really won't win you respect.  Simply be nice and ask when they think they can complete whatever task they've been set

2.
Bigger isn't always better!  It is quite common to get mixed up when you have a lot of people working on one thing.  A simple solution is to only have 4-6 people in a company.  But, this being said, if you do have a large company you should split it into many different threads, talking about different things.

3.
For the moment this is the last one but i will update, another commonly made mistake is thinking "Oh, nobody joined now, i guess it just failed".  This is a BIG DON'T.  For a company to work, you've got to learn patience and if you don't have that then there is no hope for you.

These are the three main reasons.  I'm sure there are many more but this will do... For now!

Re: Why collaborations/companies collapse:

very good i think i have another reason:
Sometimes people won't do anything as they're on holiday so setting up ur company away from the summer holidays will be better as everyone will be on scratch! something like that...

Re: Why collaborations/companies collapse:

True enough, although the true reason is that scratcher's programming might not be compatible with another's programming methods, like a mac and an apple. They both get the job done, but when you combine them (without appropriate software) BOOM!!

I often find things easier when I do them on my own, otherwise I need to change their scripts to be compatible with my own.

Ehhh... this seems to be encouraging companies, when the problem is that the people involved are connected to you only by the internet.

Re: Why collaborations/companies collapse:

You're forgetting some major ones, like how some members quit the group or quit Scratch. That's what happened to the company I was in.

Re: Why collaborations/companies collapse:

M GAMES is dead, I'm sure of this. Everyone who joined disappeared after about a month of joining. So maybe members not committing is another reason?
