"This book executes on a remarkably good idea: reviewing the usefulness for healthcare delivery organizations of popular management techniques and innovations. By inviting leading organizational researchers to write chapters on individual topics, the editors have compiled a truly useful handbook of relevant research for healthcare leaders. Each chapter provides a clear and well-researched description of a particular management innovation before examining its fit with healthcare. The resulting volume is both thorough and useful." –Amy C. Edmondson, Harvard Business School
"This is a text that effectively brings together current healthcare issues, leadership theories, strategies and concerns." –Leslie King, Franklin University
"In today’s complex and fast-paced healthcare environment, managers need a resource that helps to challenge and redefine current thinking and to encourage innovative solutions to some of health’s wicked problems. Management Innovations for Healthcare Organizations: Adopt, Abandon or Adapt? is a timely text for all healthcare managers and leaders to encourage critical reflection on change and innovation. With recent major Inquires into health system failures pointing to healthcare organizations taking their focus off of the patient, it is indeed pleasing to see chapters emphasizing values-based healthcare, servant leadership, corporate social responsibility, decentralized healthcare and empowerment in healthcare organisations. Managers need constant challenges to improve practice and systems and this book provides that challenge. A must-have for every health managers library." –Gary E Day, Griffith University
"This long-awaited book excellently investigates the usability of various management fashions for the health care sector and will doubtlessly appeal to both scholars and practitioners." –Eric Abrahamson, Columbia University, USA
