This book examines an emerging organizational form called the
multi-team system (MTS). This type of aggregation is being
increasingly adopted by organizations and agencies that need to
respond to complex strategic problems. There has been increasing
interest in MTSs over the last decade to the point where there is
now a need to (a) describe these organizational forms more fully,
(b) build conceptual frames that can guide research, and (c) begin
developing tools to improve the study of MTSs. The purpose of this
book is to respond to these needs. The book contains a series of
chapters that expand prior conceptual frames of MTSs, defining in
more detail the compositional and linkage attributes that
characterize such units. The book also explores how such systems
emerge and develop, as well as the methods for studying MTSs. The
intent of the book is to establish and nurture a strong conceptual
and methodological foundation that can guide research and practice
with MTSs. Because the notion of MTSs cuts across multiple domains,
this book will interest scholars in industrial/organizational
psychology, organizational science, management and organizational
theory, human factors, sociology, organization communications, and
public administration.

unexplained and fascinating stories associated with bookish
locations around the world. Mark Leslie’s latest paranormal

literary locales, complete with hair-raising first-person accounts.
You may even recognize a spectre of your local library lurking in
these true stories and photographs. If you have ever felt an
indescribable presence hanging about a quiet bookshop, then
you’ll enjoy these fascinating and haunting tales.
2013 Hamilton Arts Council Literary Award — Shortlisted,
Nonfiction Hamilton, Ontario, may seem just like any other city,
but a haunted past is hidden beneath it. From the Hermitage ruins
to Dundurn Castle, from the Customs House to Stoney Creek
Battlefield Park, the city of Hamilton, Ontario, is steeped in a
rich history and culture. But beneath the surface of the Steel City
there dwells a darker heart — from the shadows of yesteryear
arise the unexplainable, the bizarre, and the chilling. Lock the
doors and turn on all the lights before you settle down with this
book, because once you begin to read about the supernatural
elements that lurk within this seemingly normal city in Southern
Ontario, strange bumps in the night will take on new, more sinister
meanings. Prepare to be thrilled and chilled with this collection
of tales compiled from historical documents, first-person accounts,
and the files of the paranormal group Haunted Hamilton, which has
been investigating and celebrating Hamilton’s historic haunted
past since 1999.
