Today's public managers not only have to function as leaders within their agencies, they must also establish and coordinate multi-organizational networks of other public agencies, private ...contractors, and the public. This important transformation has been the subject of an explosion of research in recent years.The Collaborative Public Managerbrings together original contributions by some of today's top public management and public policy scholars who address cutting-edge issues that affect government managers worldwide. State-of-the-art empirical research reveals why and how public managers collaborate and how they motivate others to do the same. Examining tough issues such as organizational design and performance, resource sharing, and contracting, the contributors draw lessons from real-life situations as they provide tools to meet the challenges of managing conflict within interorganizational, interpersonal networks. This book pushes scholars, students, and professionals to rethink what they know about collaborative public management-and to strive harder to achieve its full potential.
The present study investigates the effect of public‐private partnership investment in energy and technological innovation on consumption‐based carbon emissions for China from 1990Q1‐2017Q2. This ...study employs generalized least square (GLS) based unit root test, Maki cointegration test, fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS), dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS), canonical cointegration regression (CCR) and frequency domain causality test. The finding of this study shows that (a) the cointegrating relationship among public‐private partnership investment in energy, technological innovation, renewable energy consumption, exports, imports, and consumption‐based carbon emissions is proved; (b) exports, renewable energy consumption and technological innovation are helpful to lower consumption‐based carbon emissions; (c) both public‐private partnership investment in energy, GDP and imports leads to increased consumption‐based carbon emissions; (d) in the long term, public‐private partnership investment and technological innovation cause consumption‐based carbon emissions in China. This study recommends technological innovation for the cleaner production process and public‐private partnership investment in renewable energy.
Objective
To illustrate the process of developing and sustaining an academic‐public health partnership for behavioral health integration through an expansion of the Aligning Systems for Health (ASfH) ...framework.
Study Setting
Practice‐informed primary data (2017–2023) from the Holistic Opportunity Program for Everyone (HOPE) Initiative based in Charlotte, NC.
Study Design
The unit of analysis in this descriptive case study is inter‐organizational, specifically focusing on an academic‐public health relationship. We illustrate the partnership process across the ASfH four core areas, including key challenges and insights.
Data Collection
Utilized a Critical Moments Reflection methodology and review of HOPE program data.
Principal Findings
(1) Formal partnership structures and processes are essential to monitoring the four ASfH core components for on‐going system alignment. (2) Aligning systems for health principally involves two ecologies: (i) the health program and (ii) the partnership. The vitality and sustainability of both ecologies require continuous attention and resource investment. (3) Relationships rest at the heart of aligning systems. (4) With comparative advantages in research methods, the academic sector is especially poised to collaborate with healthcare systems and human service organizations to study, develop, implement, and scale evidence‐based health interventions.
Conclusions
The academic sector shares overlapping purposes with the public health, healthcare, and social services sectors while providing complementary value. It is a critical sectoral partner in advancing population health and health equity.
