SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This unique guide to building effective collaborative organizations deals head-on with this issue, describing the steps that managers, coordinators and practitioners might take to develop what the author calls a "trans-organizational system." Alliances, Coalitions and Partnerships presents a model for this type of organization, and describes a number of elements common to their successful functioning." "With a case study to illustrate the process and a useful bibliography, Alliances, Coalitions and Partnerships will appeal to a wide audience including community and social workers, health promoters, municipal government workers in land use, health and social services, staff of professional associations, non-profit agency executive directors, urban planners and environmentalists, and many more."--Jacket.
