Governance Mechanisms in Multi-Party Non-Profit Collaboration
Tóm tắt
Despite considerable progress in research related to network organizations in recent years, current understanding seems to be more concerned with the reasons why the network mode may be a superior mode of governance, but there is limited understanding of how networks are governed. This study contributes to narrowing this knowledge gap. Moreover, the article contributes to the debate over how networks are governed by identifying governance mechanisms for multi-party collaboration of public organizations. A qualitative methodology based on conversational interviews is used in the cross-case setting consisting of six non-profit multi-party networks including governmental, university and private organizations.
