Handbook on Hybrid Organisations

Edited by the late David Billis, formerly Emeritus Reader, London School of Economics and the late Colin Rochester, formerly Honorary Research Fellow, University of Kent, UK

'The blurring of sectoral boundaries and the explosion of new organisational forms and arrangements is an increasingly dominant feature of contemporary economic, political and social life. In this Handbook, editors David Billis and Colin Rochester have successfully embraced and advanced the field of hybridity in organisations. Contributing authors capture both the advantages of hybridity in solving complex problems and overcoming boundary constraints, and the challenges posed by competing logics and accountability structures. The Handbook contains numerous insightful case studies as well as the rudiments of an entirely new theory of hybrid organisations. This is a major advance in organisational and policy studies.'--Dennis R. Young, Georgia State University and Case Western Reserve University, US'This inspiring book brings together work by leading academics and practitioners to explore the complex world of hybrid organisations in an authoritative, comprehensive and highly original overview of this important new topic. In assembling these cutting edge contributions, the editors bring together public, private and third sector perspectives on hybridity for the first time. This Handbook is a must-read for anyone interested in the changing nature of organisational life where the third sector is going, and opens up important new pathways for research and action.'--David Lewis, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK'This important volume presents a culmination of years of careful theory development and empirical exploration by the editors - two highly accomplished organisational scholars. The hybridity approach builds on earlier sectoral conceptions of the organisational structure of contemporary societies. In this volume, a broad range of international scholars clearly demonstrate that the hybridity approach has become the prime way of understanding the interconnections between politics, economics, and voluntary action.'--Jon van Til, Rutgers University, US
