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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54239541625176,"sku":"9780415899024","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415899024.jpg?v=1770216333","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/uniting-diverse-organizations-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
