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. The research conducts 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 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. The case study examines traits, power, behaviors, interventions and success criteria of leadership. The patterns observed in the Chinese case were then compared to the results of previously developed and published case studies and related analysis in the US to identify similarities and differences.
