A comprehensive guide to public sector collaboration with private
and nonprofit organizations for better service delivery Governing
Cross-Sector Collaboration tackles the issues inherent in
partnerships with nongovernmental actors for public service
delivery, highlighting the choices available and the accompanying
challenges and opportunities that arise. Based on research,
interviews with public, private and nonprofit sector leaders, and
considerable analysis of organizations involved in
public-private-nonprofit collaborations, the book provides insight
into cross-sector collaboration at the global, federal, state, and
local levels. Through an examination of the primary modes of
cross-sector collaboration, including collaborative contracting,
partnerships, networks, and independent public services providers,
the book presents a clear case for how public managers can assess
the trade-offs and use these options to improve public service
delivery. Nonprofit organizations, businesses, and third-party
contractors are increasingly partnering with government to deliver
public services. Recognizing the types of collaborative approaches,
and their potential to solve public policy problems is quickly
becoming a major task for public managers, with new methods and
techniques constantly emerging. Governing Cross-Sector
Collaboration provides specific examples and a framework for public
managers to make strategic choices about how to engage private and
nonprofit actors in delivering public goods and services while
ensuring the public interest. The book provides effective methods
for choosing, designing, governing, and evaluating networks,
partnerships, and independent public-services providers, with
in-depth discussion encompassing: * Analysis and engagement of
cross-sector organizations * Fostering democratic accountability in
the public interest * Collaborative approaches (including
contracts, networks and partnerships) and the issues associated
with each type of arrangement * Leadership and organizational
learning in cross-sector collaboration Included case studies
illustrate effective application of the concepts and methods
described, providing both practicing public and nonprofit managers
and public policy/administration students with insight into these
emerging strategic alliances. The first comprehensive guide to
public governance collaborations, Governing Cross-Sector
Collaboration is an important and timely contribution to the field
of public management.
