COLLECTIVE
A collective is a group of entities that
share or are motivated by at least one
common issue or interest, or work together
on a specific project(s) to achieve a
common objective.
Collectives differ from cooperatives in
that they are not necessarily focused
upon an economic benefit or saving (but
can be that as well).
There may be some issues with meaningfully
describing the qualities of a collective.

TYPES
OF
GROUPS
Collectives are sometimes characterised by
attempts to share and exercise political
and social power and to make decisions on
a consensus-driven and egalitarian basis.
A commune or intentional community, which
may also be known as a "collective household",
is a group of people who live together in
some kind of dwelling or residence, or in
some other arrangement (e.g. sharing land).
Collective households may be organized for
a specific purpose (e.g. relating to business,
parenting, or some other shared interest).
The term "collective" is sometimes used to
describe a species as a whole—for example,
the "human collective."
A "work collective" is a type of horizontal
collectivism wherein a business functions
as a partnership of individual professionals,
recognizing them as equals and rewarding
them for their expertise.
The working collective aims to reduce costs
to clients while maintaining healthy rewards
for participating partners.
This is accomplished by eliminating the
operating costs that are needed to support
levels of management.
