Networks are made up of organizations. Often a central unit, or
"Network Administrative Organization" (NAO), manages an entire
network of organizations that collaborate to achieve an overall
network-level goal. Goal-directed networks are those that come
together to achieve a shared objective, in addition to the
individual organization-specific goals. This book's focus is on the
management of goal-directed networks. Despite the fact that
formalized goal-directed interorganizational networks have become
extremely popular in the public and nonprofit sectors, as many
social problems require concerted action, publications on managing
goal-directed networks do not exist. In this book, author Angel
Saz-Carranza examines four networks that differ by size, scope, and
geographical location. He offers a novel and innovative framework
focusing on networks' inherent internal tensions between unity and
diversity, paralleling the differentiation/integration tension
found in organization theory, which has not previously been applied
to interorganizational networks.
