New book! Why Managers Don't Collaborate: Revealing the Myths and Truths

We have just signed a contract for our next book with Routledge (Taylor & Francis Group), New York.

This book is an innovative and controversial approach to dispel the baseless myths that are stopping managers of organizations from moving forward and gaining the benefits of collaboration. Compared to the vast majority of publications on the market this book is packed with the rich results of 20 years of research. It is based on over 200 studies in a wide variety of public, private and international settings and over 4000 quotations gathered from interviews with managers. Many have been selected to illustrate the case studies and key points in the book.

We steer a path through the confusion caused by the prevalent muddled thinking, myths, on collaborative working. We provide senior managers and decision-makers with clear direction on avoiding the pitfalls from poor implementation in their alliances resulting from these false beliefs.
