"Makes a compelling case for partnerships between the business, government, and nonprofit sectors to strengthen civil society. This is easier said than done. We have many well-meaning but flawed attempts at cross-sector partnerships. Too often they are crippled by misperceptions, unrealistic expectations, and a failure to share risks and rewards. This book takes a bold step in addressing these issues with practical information about how to build effective partnerships."—Barbara Dyer, The Hitachi Foundation
