Year: 2009
Type: dissertation
Abstract: This study comprises a comparative analysis between the US and China regarding public sector leadership behaviors in the context of cross-boundary information sharing and integration. Based on the literature on leadership, public sector information sharing, and cross-cultural analysis, the research begins with an original case study in China set in the product safety and food safety policy domain. The case explores leadership behaviors of middle-level information leaders in the technological, organizational, and legal context of cross-boundary information sharing in this domain. Qualitative data were collected from in-depth interviews and government documents. The data were analyzed with an inductive approach to identify leadership patterns and boundary-crossing frameworks. The case study examines the nature of boundaries and associated situational variables, traits, power, behaviors, interventions and success criteria.
