Hosszú leírás:

This Handbook seeks to better understand the fundamental characteristics of hybrid organisations from different sectors, countries, activities and contexts. Presenting a series of groundbreaking approaches to hybridity, this comprehensive Handbook on Hybrid Organisations brings together internationally renowned scholars in an innovative empirical study.

  Offering guidance in the prolific and rapidly growing field of hybrid organisations, chapters review the various types of hybrid forms across the public, private and third sectors. Contributors not only explore the role and contribution of hybrid organisations globally, but also develop critical new theories about the place of hybrids in a new organisational reality.

  Pioneering and thorough, this Handbook is vital reading for scholars and students of public and social administration, organisational theory, business and management studies and the third sector. Policymakers and organisation leaders responding to the development of hybrid forms will also benefit from its unique insight into the new environment for hybrid organisations.

Hybrid Organisations – that integrate competing organisational principles – have become a preferred means of tackling the complexity of today's societal problems. One familiar set of examples are organisations that combine significant features from market, public and third sector organisations. Many different groundbreaking approaches to hybridity are contained in this Handbook, which brings together a collection of empirical studies from an international body of scholars. The chapters analyse and theorise the position of hybrid organisations and have important implications for theory, practice and policy in a context of proliferating hybrid forms of organisation.

'The blurring of sectoral boundaries and the explosion of new organisational forms and arrangements is an increasingly dominant feature of contemporary economic, political and social life. In this Handbook, editors David Billis and Colin Rochester have successfully embraced and advanced the field of hybridity in organisations. Contributing authors capture both the advantages of hybridity in solving complex problems and overcoming boundary constraints, and the challenges posed by competing logics and accountability structures. The Handbook contains numerous insightful case studies as well as the rudiments of an entirely new theory of hybrid organisations. This is a major advance in organisational and policy studies.'
--Dennis R. Young, Georgia State University and Case Western Reserve University, US

'This inspiring book brings together work by leading academics and practitioners to explore the complex world of hybrid organisations in an authoritative, comprehensive and highly original overview of this important new topic. In assembling these cutting edge contributions, the editors bring together public, private and third sector perspectives on hybridity for the first time. This Handbook is a must-read for anyone interested in the changing nature of organisational life where the third sector is going, and opens up important new pathways for research and action.'
--David Lewis, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK

'This important volume presents a culmination of years of careful theory development and empirical exploration by the editors - two highly accomplished organisational scholars. The hybridity approach builds on earlier sectoral conceptions of the organisational structure of contemporary societies. In this volume, a broad range of international scholars clearly demonstrate that the hybridity approach has become the prime way of understanding the interconnections between politics, economics, and voluntary action.'
--Jon van Til, Rutgers University, US
