From: Bromberg, Daniel Call for Chapter Proposals Proposal Deadline: November 15th 2013 Full Chapters Due: April 15th 2014 Creative Government-Business Alliances: A Public Solutions Handbook Edited by Daniel E. Bromberg, Ph.D., University of New Hampshire [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Public Solutions Handbook Series Marc Holzer Ph.D., Rutgers University, Series Editor Introduction Government and business relations are often captured in grand terms and a monolithic manner. The relationship between the two sectors is described through economic and political philosophies that are often adversarial and detached from the day to day running of government and business. While such descriptions and theoretical underpinnings serve an important role they do little to address the challenges and realities that affect these relationships from the perspective of everyday management. Measures are taken on a daily basis that bridge the divide between these two sectors and provide cooperative solutions to complex challenges. This book will explore those solutions. Objective The central objective of this book is to provide an in depth look at government/business relations on a daily basis. Ideally, chapters will provide examples of successful relationships in which collaborative efforts solve complex problems. To meet this goal both practitioners and academics are invited to submit proposal that capture the dynamics of these relationships. While the recommended topics suggest both specific subjects of interest and broad categories, the book is not limited to these suggestions. Recommended Topics - Benefit Corporations or B Corporations - Enforced Self-Regulation - Community Reinvestment Act - Industry Specific Policy Implementation - Partnering: Leveraging Business Resources and Expertise - Economic Development - Capacity Building - Joint Investment - Setting Targets and Standards Submission Procedure Researchers, academics and practitioners are invited to submit proposals on or before November 15, 2013 to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by November 30, 2013 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by April 15, 2014. All submitted chapters will be subjected to a double-blind review process. Chapters should be written in a clear, direct manner. Volumes in this series are intended for practitioners, academics and students. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. Publisher The book will be published by M.E. Sharpe in their Public Solutions Handbook Series (Marc Holzer, Ph.D. Series Editor). M.E. Sharpe is committed to publishing the books in this series in affordable paperback editions, also with e-book options.
