This new book presents case studies from the US, the UK and Japan.
Packed full of vignettes from cases studies and subscribing to a
socio-cultural approach rather than the often tacit assumption that
knowledge and 'technology transfer' is a logistical problem, this
excellent volume illuminates the often misunderstood process of
knowledge transfer. Arguing that partnership between public and
private sector organizations can take many forms, some of which are
very complicated Brown shows that 'partnership' should not be
prescribed as a panacea for the delivery of complex policy in
education, health and economic regeneration. Instead policy makers
need to adopt a much more subtle and sophisticated concept of
multi-agency partnership that acknowledges the time and effort
needed to build trust and new shared practices. Taking issue with
weak theories of change endemic in some policies and emphasizing
the process of knowledge creation and the significance of
consequent changes in the dynamics of human relations Brown
conceptualizes innovation as collaboration between diverse
organizations and individuals, the result of which is
organizational learning. This book will be of great interest to
students and researchers interested in policy studies, business and
management and education, as well as policy makers engaged with
communities of practice theory.
