Outline (in English)

【授業の概要（Course outline）】
Local governments face complex problems (e.g., health and human services, economic development), which no single organization can address. For example, the well-being of mentally ill children and youth depends on comprehensive, integrated, and individualized services including mental health treatments, social services, education, and vocational services, rather than a single excellent service in any of the service areas. Thus, local governments need work with business and non-profit sectors to make and implement public policy; and, goal-directed inter-organizational networks, composed of three or more organizations to collectively achieve a common goal, have become a prevalent organizational arrangement. Such goal-directed inter-organizational networks address complex problems, by integrating resources, information, expertise, and perspectives possessed by differently-endowed organizations. In public administration and policy research, they are known as “collaborative networks.” While the involvement of diverse organizations does enhance the capacity of collaborative networks to address complex problems, it also brings about negative consequences—namely difficulties of cooperation and coordination resulting from the differing (sometimes, even conflicting) goals, strategies, perceptions, and ways of working among diverse network participants. Because of the cooperation and coordination challenges, it is recognized that network management is essential to produce satisfactory network outputs and outcomes.

【到達目標（Learning Objectives）】
This class is designed with an emphasis on two objectives: (1) understanding key concepts in inter-organizational theory and (2) applying the concepts for designing and managing collaborative networks.

【授業時間外の学習（Learningactivities outside of classroom）】
After each class meeting, students will be expected to spend one hour to understand the course material.

【成績評価の方法と基準（Grading Criteria /Policy）】
Grading will be decided based on mid-term paper (30%) and final paper (70%)
