Uniting Diverse Organizations : Managing Goal-Oriented Advocacy Networks PDF
by Angel Saz-Carranza
Part of the Routledge Studies in Business Organizations and Networks series
Description
Networks are made up of organizations. Often a central unit, or "Network Administrative Organization" (NAO), manages an entire network of organizations that collaborate to achieve an overall network-level goal.
Goal-directed networks are those that come together to achieve a shared objective, in addition to the individual organization-specific goals.
This book’s focus is on the management of goal-directed networks.
Despite the fact that formalized goal-directed interorganizational networks have become extremely popular in the public and nonprofit sectors, as many social problems require concerted action, publications on managing goal-directed networks do not exist.
In this book, author Angel Saz-Carranza examines four networks that differ by size, scope, and geographical location.
He offers a novel and innovative framework focusing on networks’ inherent internal tensions between unity and diversity, paralleling the differentiation/integration tension found in organization theory, which has not previously been applied to interorganizational networks.
