Difference Between Collaboration and Silo Building?

What is Collaboration and Silo Building ?

Collaboration :
In business and industry, many user manuals, reports, proposals, PowerPoint
presentations, and Web sites are team written. Teams consist of engineers,
graphic artists, marketing specialists and corporate employees in legal, sales,
production, accounting, and management.
The collaborative efforts include communicating with companies in other
cities and countries through teleconferences, faxes, and e-mail.

Silo Building :
Working well with others requires collaboration versus “silo building.” The
silo has become a symbol for departments and employees that behave as if
they have no responsibilities outside their areas.
They act as if no other department’s concerns or opinions are valuable.
Such “stand-alone” departments or people isolate themselves from the
company as a whole and become inaccessible to other departments.
They “focus narrowly”. This creates problems
The successful employee must be able to work collaboratively with others to
share ideas.
