Models for this kind of working arrangement rangefrom contracting out and joint planning, through to more formalarrangements such as setting up a joint agency. How to make thesearrangements effective in developing policy and aidingdecision-making can, however, be problematic. To make themultiagency setting work, organisations must manage diversity,resolve conflict and promote collaboration. The processes foreffective decision-making in multiagency settings form the centralconcern of this book. Group processes must become moreparticipatory, democratic and empowering. Illustrated with casestudies drawn from the US, Africa, Asia, Latin America, as well asthe UK and Europe, the book surveys the range of multiagencysettings, explores the mechanisms and processes for multiagencywork, and reviews a range of processes and tools that have shownthemselves to be effective. Partnership \u0026amp; Participation offersno guaranteed answers, but provides a useful framework andstimulating guidelines for those facing the many questions that areraised by working in a multiagency setting.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eMULTIAGENCY WORKING.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Introduction to the Multiagency Setting.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Models of Multiagency Working.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Methods Used in Multiagency Settings.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e INTRODUCING PANDA.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Pragmatic Pluralism.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Pluralism in the 'Nature' of the Client.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Pluralism in the Use of Specific Methods\/Techniques.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Modes of Representation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Pluralism in the Facilitation Process.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e PANDA IN ACTION.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Using the PANDA Framework for Planning Process.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Case Studies Using PANDA.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Conclusion.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e References.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Business \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Business \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Business%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BKJ%5D%22\"\u003eKJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52298042966296,"sku":"9780471720317","price":56.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471720317.jpg?v=1781732214","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/partnership-and-participation-decision-making-in-the-multiagency-setting-paperback-softback-9780471720317","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
