This book consists of 10 articles by business, management, law, economics, and other researchers from Europe and Brazil, who examine collaboration between government, business, and non-profit organizations, focusing on inter-organizational perspectives of managing at the boundaries between sectors. They address performance management through a public service design approach; the assessment of public governance initiatives; public support and corporate giving to the arts and culture in times of economic crisis, using the case of Italy for illustration; employee and citizen preference for public, private, or non-profit delivered services in England and Finland; and the relations between third-sector organizations and the government and business in Italy. Others discuss collaboration between government and non-profits in Brazil in the areas of AIDS, social assistance, and cultural policy; local infrastructural initiatives as a model of early-stage collaboration in projects; the co-production of social housing policies; collaborative governance between government and business in Naples; and the relationships between government and civil society in third-sector organizations in social assistance care services through hybrid organizations in Denmark, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the UK. Some chapters are based on papers presented in the Public and Non-Profit Management Strategic Interest Group of the European Academy of Management, and at the International Research Society for Public Management and European Group on Public Administration conferences.
