The Dynamics of Multi‐organizational Partnerships: an Analysis of Changing Modes of Governance
Open accessAbstract
Multi‐organizational partnerships are now an important means of governing and managing public programmes. They typically involve business, community and not‐for‐profit agencies alongside government bodies. Partnerships are frequently contrasted with competitive markets and bureaucratic hierarchies. A more complex reality is revealed once partnerships as an organizational form are distinguished from networks as a mode of social co‐ordination or governance. Data from studies of UK urban regeneration partnerships are used to develop a four‐stage partnership life cycle: pre‐partnership collaboration; partnership creation; partnership programme delivery; and partnership termination. A different mode of governance ‐ network, market or hierarchy ‐ predominates at each stage. Separating organizational form from mode of governance enables a richer understanding of multi‐organizational activity and provides the basis from which theory and practice can be developed. The key challenge for partnerships lies in managing the interaction of different modes of governance, which at some points will generate competition and at other points collaboration.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
