The result of this re-forming of local governments calls for new collaborations and managerial responses that occur in addition to governmental and bureaucratic processes-as-usual, bringing locally generated strategies or what the authors call \"jurisdiction-based management\" into play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on an extensive study of 237 cities within five states, \u003ci\u003eCollaborative Public Management \u003c\/i\u003e provides an in-depth look at how city officials work with other governments and organizations to develop their city economies and what makes these collaborations work. Exploring the more complex nature of collaboration across jurisdictions, governments, and sectors, Agranoff and McGuire illustrate how public managers address complex problems through strategic partnerships, networks, contractual relationships, alliances, committees, coalitions, consortia, and councils as they function together to meet public demands through other government agencies, nonprofit associations, for-profit entities, and many other types of nongovernmental organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond the \"how\" and \"why,\" \u003ci\u003eCollaborative Public Management \u003c\/i\u003eidentifies the importance of different managerial approaches by breaking them down into parts and sequences, and describing the many kinds of collaborative activities and processes that allow local governments to function in new ways to address the most nettlesome public challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Agranoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1589010183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781589010185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgetown University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 6.02w x 0.50d","brand":"Robert Agranoff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44717589692671,"sku":"9781589010185","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_655dd3ee-77c1-4c7b-be87-3fd0b7fe6fd3.jpg?v=1705688792","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/collaborative-public-management-robert-agranoff-9781589010185","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
