<i>‘In the past decades, the number and types of hybrid organizations has increased strongly – and these organizations are here to stay! The hybridity of these organizations has had impact on all elements of public governance. Mixing efficiency driven modes with more attention for public value creation creates tensions for accountability, financial and other types of reporting, performance measurement and budgeting. This Handbook offers a welcome overview and discussion of these tensions, with examples from various countries, policy sectors, and government levels. It is a must read for scholars and students who are studying hybrid organizations.’</i>
