"Makes a reader feel like a time traveler plopped down among men
who were by turns vicious and visionary."--"The Christian Science
Monitor"""
The modern American economy was the creation of four men: Andrew
Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Jay Gould, and J. P. Morgan. They
were the giants of the Gilded Age, a moment of riotous growth that
established America as the richest, most inventive, and most
productive country on the planet.
Acclaimed author Charles R. Morris vividly brings the men and their
times to life. The ruthlessly competitive Carnegie, the imperial
Rockefeller, and the provocateur Gould were obsessed with progress,
experiment, and speed. They were balanced by Morgan, the gentleman
businessman, who fought, instead, for a global trust in American
business. Through their antagonism and their verve, they built an
industrial behemoth--and a country of middle-class consumers. "The
Tycoons" tells the incredible story of how these four determined
men wrenched the economy into the modern age, inventing a nation of
full economic participation that could not have been imagined only
a few decades earlier.
With cross-pollination of the public administration and policy
implementation literatures, Madeleine Wright McNamara and John
Charles Morris present the Multiorganizational Interaction Model as
a framework to explore the use of cooperation, coordination, and
collaboration between 15 federal/state agencies, local governments,
and nongovernmental organizations working together to restore
coastal habitats and replenish aquatic resources on Virginia's
Eastern Shore. Content analysis of data collected through
interviews and organizational documents allows comparisons to be
made regarding the distribution of data across the continuum of
interaction. The presence of policy mandates intending to prescribe
relationships coupled with strong perceptions of collaboration,
create opportunity to explore mandated and voluntary collaboration.
Themes regarding mapping relationships within the
multiorganizational arrangement, movement on the continuum, and
implementation through mid-level personnel are discussed. The
combination of theory development and testing provides readers with
a theoretical framework through which to think about
interorganizational interactions, and a case study to illustrate
the ways in which these complex relationships manifest themselves
in practice. Multiorganizational Arrangements for Watershed
Protection will be essential for scholars, students, and policy
makers.
