In the past, organisations could easily be categorised as 'public' or 'private', but the line between these two realms is increasingly blurred -- giving rise to hybrid organisations. These organisations can be found at micro, meso and macro levels of societal activity, consisting of networks between companies, public agencies and other entities. Governing Hybrid Organisations presents an engaging discussion around hybrid organisations, highlighting them as important and fascinating examples of modern institutional diversity. Chapters examine the changing landscape of public service delivery and the nature and governance of these hybrid organisations, using international examples and cases from different public service contexts. The authors put forward a clear analytical framework for understanding hybrid governance, looking at strategy and performance management. This text will be valuable for students of public management, public administration and organisational studies, and will also be illuminating for practising public managers.
