This latest title in the series from the conference Organizational Behaviour in Health Care compiles examples of innovations within healthcare settings to provide valuable examples of what can be achieved through organizational change. It also considers cases where innovations were hindered, examining where theories and practices are falling short.

This book brings together a variety of the best papers from an international research symposium on organisational behaviour in healthcare. It includes contributions from key names such as Sandra Dawson and Peter Spurgeon with a foreword by Rosemary Stewart. Also including chapters from Australia, Canada and Europe, it is consciously international in perspective and aims to relate the public sector agenda as a comparator for developments in the US.
