Founders and Organizational Development: The Etiology and Theory of
Founder's Syndrome is designed to help today's researchers,
faculty, students and practitioners become familiar with the
etiology and dynamics of Founder's Syndrome as an organizational
condition challenging nonprofit/nongovernmental, social enterprise,
and for-profit and publicly traded organizations. The book uses
applied social and psychological theories and concepts to peel away
the layers of an organizational enigma, revealing three causes of
Founder's Syndrome and insight into the power and privileges
assumed by founders who engage in undesirable and self-destructive
behaviors leading to their termination; going from hero status to
antihero. Researchers, instructors, students, and practitioners
will find thought-provoking case studies from the real world of
organization development practice. Segments from interviews during
interventions reveal the type of emotional turmoil experienced in
organizations where founder's syndrome is present. Insight is
provided into accounts of well-known founders who were terminated
or forced to resign. The unique features of this book include:
integrating theory into practice, describing a new theory about the
psychological reaction of founder's syndrome victims, prevention
ideas when designing new organizations, strategies for
intervention, using content based on research and organization
development consultation experiences, and, integrating feedback
from students who have launched organizations.

The term collaboration is widely used but not clearly understood or
operationalized. However, collaboration is playing an increasingly
important role between and across public, nonprofit, and for-profit
sectors. Collaboration has become a hallmark in both
intragovernmental and intergovernmental relationships. As
collaboration scholarship rapidly emerges, it diverges into several
directions, resulting in confusion about what collaboration is and
what it can be used to accomplish. This book provides much needed
insight into existing ideas and theories of collaboration,
advancing a revised theoretical model and accompanying typologies
that further our understanding of collaborative processes within
the public sector. Organized into three parts, each chapter
presents a different theoretical approach to public problems,
valuing the collective insights that result from honoring many
individual perspectives. Case studies in collaboration, split
across three levels of government, offer additional perspectives on
unanswered questions in the literature. Contributions are made by
authors from a variety of backgrounds, including an attorney, a
career educator, a federal executive, a human resource
administrator, a police officer, a self-employed entrepreneur, as
well as scholars of public administration and public policy.
Drawing upon the individual experiences offered by these
perspectives, the book emphasizes the commonalities of
collaboration. It is from this common ground, the shared
experiences forged among seemingly disparate interactions that
advances in collaboration theory arise. Advancing Collaboration
Theory offers a unique compilation of collaborative models and
typologies that enhance the existing understanding of public sector
collaboration.
Based on observation of sex education programmes and in-depth
interviews with young people, the authors aim to understand more
about adolescent's attitudes to sexuality and their sexual
behaviour in order to develop policies which will meet their needs
more appropriately and effectively.
Issues covered in this interesting and accessible book include the
ways adolescent informal culture affects sex education programmes
and practice; the impact of gender inequality on sex education and
safer sex behaviours; legislation and policy frameworks which
effect sex education policies; the way young people see legislation
and evaluate sex education programmes; and the impact health
professionals can have in school sex education.
The authors contend that the insights into the values and views
that young people bring to bear on the sex education they receive
should have an important role to play in the development of policy
and practice of those involved in sex education work.

After the 2016 election upheaval and polarized public discourse in
the United States and the rise of radical-right and populist
parties across the globe, a new phenomenon in online charitable
giving has emerged - donating motivated by rage. This Element
defines this phenomenon, discusses its meaning amidst the current
body of research and knowledge on emotions and charitable giving,
the implications of viral fundraising and increased social media
use by both donors and nonprofit organizations, the
intersectionality of rage giving and its meaning for practitioners
and nonprofit organizations, the understanding of giving as a form
of civic engagement, and the exploration of philanthropy as a tool
for social movements and social change. Previous research shows
contextual variation in charitable giving motivations; however,
giving motivated by feelings of anger and rage is an unstudied
behavioral shift in online giving.
