Middle Managers as Agents of Collaboration

This important book examines the role, behaviours and management
practices of middle managers operating within the context of
collaboration - complex inter-organisational and multi-sector
settings that demand cross boundary governance, policy and
practice to tackle challenging contemporary societal problems and
issues.

Presenting new evidence and offering perspectives from both the
public and private sectors, the author critically explores the main
themes that are integral to the management challenges facing this
cadre of managers. The book sets out the implications of this
research for policy and practice and offers practical
recommendations to policy makers and managers working in this
area.
