Synopsis

This primer on collaborative management seeks to capture the basic ideas and approaches to managing across boundaries in an era of governance, where government partners with external organizations to solve difficult public problems. It examines the current and emergent approaches and techniques in intergovernmental grants and regulation management, purchase-of-service contracting, networking, public/nonprofit partnerships, and other such lateral arrangements in the context of today's changing public agencies.  The book is geared to professionals working within and with the new bureaucracy and for students who will pursue careers in the public or non-profit sectors.  The format of the book is student friendly and contains many examples of real-world practices, lessons from successful cases, and summaries of key principles for collaborative public management.
