Omschrijving
This volume presents and discusses evidence on collaboration between government, businesses and non-profits, focusing on an inter-organizational perspective of managing at the boundaries between sectors.
This book consists of 10 articles by business, management, law, economics, and other researchers from Europe and Brazil, who examine collaboration between government, business, and non-profit organizations, focusing on inter-organizational perspectives of managing at the boundaries between sectors. They address performance management through a public service design approach; the assessment of public governance initiatives; public support and corporate giving to the arts and culture in times of economic crisis, using the case of Italy for illustration; employee and citizen preference for public, private, or non-profit delivered services in England and Finland; and the relations between third-sector organizations and the government and business in Italy. Others discuss collaboration between government and non-profits in Brazil in the areas of AIDS, social assistance, and cultural policy; local infrastructural initiatives as a model of early-stage collaboration in projects; the co-production of social housing policies; collaborative governance between government and business in Naples; and the relationships between government and civil society in third-sector organizations in social assistance care services through hybrid organizations in Denmark, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the UK. Some chapters are based on papers presented in the Public and Non-Profit Management Strategic Interest Group of the European Academy of Management, and at the International Research Society for Public Management and European Group on Public Administration conferences.
