Uniting Diverse Organizations : Managing Goal-Oriented Advocacy Networks, Paperback / softback Book

Uniting Diverse Organizations : Managing Goal-Oriented Advocacy Networks Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Studies in Business Organizations and Networks series

Paperback / softback

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.
