Book excerpt: "Public-private ecosystems are central to the functioning and provisioning of most essential ecosystems, e.g., security, healthcare, education, and environment. These ecosystems face challenges of governance, diverse constituencies, numerous advocacy organizations, incompatible outcome metrics, and persistent media attention, to name a few. There is a wide range of public and private players involved in operating, sustaining, and investing in these ecosystems, including stakeholders from government, industry, academia, non-governmental organizations and the overall public. Fundamental change requires understanding a wide range of interests and accommodating change strategies accordingly. Transforming these ecosystems easily qualify as "wicked problems," which are social or cultural problems laced with incomplete or contradictory knowledge, large numbers of people and opinions, substantial economic burdens, and the interconnected nature of these problems with other problems. Transforming Public-Private Ecosystems addresses these challenges for four important ecosystems, and provides an integrated perspective for understanding and enabling change. An overall analytic framework is presented and illustrated with 36 case studies of change and innovation"--
