Review
"In this path-breaking book, Torfing shows how collaborative innovation is an important component of new public governance and an essential approach to dealing with wicked societal problems that inescapably cross organizational boundaries. His work will be of abiding interest to both scholars and practitioners" ― Sandford Borins, Professor of Public Management, University of Toronto; Research Fellow, Harvard Kennedy School
"Collaborative Innovation in the Public Sector is a highly-recommended resource for researchers and informed practitioners interested in public sector governance networks. The book explores theories and research on how governance networks can and do produce innovations. Most importantly, readers learn how collaboration, activated throughout all phases of the innovation process, can increase the potential for innovation in governance networks to occur. The book's propositions set the agenda for the next generation of research on collaboration and innovation in governance networks." ― Nancy Roberts, Professor Emerita, Department of Defense Analysis, Naval Postgraduate School
