(Re)defining public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the new public governance (NPG) paradigm : an institutional maturity perspective
- 2020

In: Public Management Review. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1471-9037 .- 1471-9045. ; 22:2, s. 161-183

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Infrastructure public-private partnerships (PPPs) are dominantly seen as part of an increasingly fragmented and uncertain public management paradigm known as New Public Governance (NPG). However, the effects of institutional maturity on PPP utilization within this domain remain understudied. In order to (re)define PPPs within the NPG paradigm, we develop a PPP institutional maturity model based on three institutional capabilities-legitimacy, trust, and capacity. We then use the U.S. PPP market as a case example to explore how the maturity of PPPs in an institutional setting depends on legitimacy, trust, and capacity in the PPP model.

Who governs 4.0? Varieties of smart cities
- 2020
-
In: Public Management Review. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1471-9037 .- 1471-9045. ; 22:5, s. 668-686
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- © 2020, © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. Research on smart cities is still at an early stage. The conjecture of this article is that smart city strategies and their impacts will inevitably vary across contexts; however, the debate still lacks an analytical toolkit that guides the exploration of such varieties (and similarities) of smart cities. Combining existing research on the governance of smart cities with theories of business–state relations from political economy, this article develops an analytical framework and typology that captures varieties (and similarities) of smart city policies and governance. We apply this framework to four illustrative cases: Prague, Barcelona, Berlin, and Rio de Janeiro.

Collaborative Public Management : Coordinated Value Propositions among Public Service Organisations
- 2020
-
In: Public Management Review. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1471-9037 .- 1471-9045. ; 22:6, s. 791-812
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Drawing from collaborative public management, this article seeks to contribute topublic service logic by focusing on what precedes the public service user’s realizationof value: the value proposition. A new care model for elderly people with multiplechronic diseases shows that coordinators with an inter-organizational mission, ver-tical and horizontal supporting structures, trust established through relationships,and recognition of service systems’embeddedness in social systems are pivotal forthe ability of public service organizations to develop coordinated value propositions.The contribution to policy and practice is an increased understanding of a coherent,rather than fragmented, welfare system for users/citizens.

A public management perspective on smart cities : 'Urban auditing' for management, governance and accountability
- 2020
-
In: Public Management Review. - : Taylor and Francis Ltd.. - 1471-9037 .- 1471-9045.
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Our exploration of three bodies of literature - public management, accounting and urban governance - shows that three views on these new technological practices of 'urban auditing' are present in the literature: a technocratic, a critical and an emergent view. We use these three views to introduce the six papers in this special issue. We conclude with the observation that the public management perspective is important for understanding smart city dynamics: we should not present our insights only in our own community, but should also connect to the interdisciplinary debate on smart cities.

Planning Cities4People–A body and soul analysis of urban neighbourhoods
- 2020
-
In: Public Management Review. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1471-9037 .- 1471-9045. ; 22:5, s. 687-700
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- There is a growing interest among urban planners in identifying and reinforcing key features that differentiate a city from others. At a local level, neighbourhoods are increasingly positioned and branded, based on their distinguishing characteristics. Against this background this paper aims to contribute to a better governance of cities and urban neighbourhoods by pinpointing the determinants of citizens’ perceptions of urban quality of life. A conceptual model on neighbourhood love, comprising both body and soul constituents, is developed and empirically tested. The results show that the residents’ ‘love’ for their neighbourhood is significantly related to both its material and immaterial amenities.

Non-voluntary service interaction from a service logic perspective : children and value co-creation
- 2020
-
In: Public Management Review. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1471-9037 .- 1471-9045. ; 22:12, s. 1781-1798
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Public sector services are complex in relation to many private sector services. For example, public sector services contain non-voluntary service interaction. This area of practice has not been extensively researched to date. In this article, we explore and discuss service interaction in public non-voluntary services targeting children, in order to understand what elements go into value co-creation. We use a conceptual model of value co-creation in service developed by Christian Grönroos, and propose elaborations of the model to better reflect the complexities of public sector services.

Organizing service delivery on social mediaplatforms? : Loosely organized networks, co-optation, and the welfare state
- 2020
-
In: Public Management Review. - : Routledge. - 1471-9037 .- 1471-9045. ; 22:6, s. 857-876
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Recent crisis situations have witnessed a growing number of loosely organised networks (LONs) that deliver welfare services and employ social media platforms to coordinate their actions. Focusing on the 2015 ‘refugee crisis’ in Sweden, we explore the role of LONs in Swedish resilience policy. In the absence of standardised heuristics characteristic of established organizations, the LONs refer to social media for generating a common stance on the policy problem and their relation to the state. The study indicates challenges in governing LONs, showing that although a LON may become co-opted by the state, this co-optation may lead to its demise.
