{"product_id":"managing-fragmentation","title":"Managing Fragmentation","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis title was first published in 2002: The rise of New Public Management and the fragmentation of agencies that resulted, created unprecedented new tensions and problems in multi-agency work. This book provides a fascinating insight into the workings of a large multi-agency committee, exploring the manner in which different agencies brought their own agendas, organizational structures and world-views to a multi-agency forum and expected working relationships to be relatively problem free. Charting the development of child protection in the UK, it explores the problems and prospects of both multi-agency working and new public management, under the auspices of joint working initiatives. It offers a unique insight into how members of an area child protection committee viewed working with others, drawing on detailed comments and quotes from those directly involved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45541582766318,"sku":"9781138732483","price":55.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/managing-fragmentation","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
