  摘要：Governance structures constrain and enable the actions of public managers. Principal-agent theory has played a dominant role in our understanding of governance structures. This theory suggests that politicians create relatively static governance structures in a top-clown fashion and hold managers accountable for mandated results. In other words, public managers are influenced by governance structures but do not affect governance structures.. However, we argue that public managers do affect gov...
• Managing networks: Propositions on what managers do and why they do it AI翻译
  作者：McGuire, M

  摘要：Measuring management in networks is difficult because the allocation of managerial resources in network structures is fluid-that is, the utilization of management behaviors varies across time and space within a given program or project. As a means of focusing the network management research agenda, propositions based in contingency logic are suggested to test ideas regarding when, why, and how network managers undertake these behaviors. The propositions ore intended to identify the vast invent...

  摘要：Public policies addressing complex issues require transjurisdictional solutions, challenging hierarchical modes of public-service delivery. Interlocal agreements (ILAs) are long-established service-delivery instruments for local governments, and research suggests they are plentiful, with a majority of cities and counties involved in at least one ILA. Although ILAs are an established feature of local government operations, previous research is atheoretical, largely descriptive, and unsystematic...
• What to do when stakeholders matter: The case of problem formulation for the African American Men Project of Hennepin County Minnesota AI翻译
  作者：Bryson, JM; Cunningham, GL; Lokkesmoe, KJ

  摘要：We propose a series of stakeholder analyses designed to help organizations-especially governments-think and act strategically during the process of problem formulation in order to advance the common good. Specifically, we argue that at least five sets of analyses are necessary, including the creation of (1) a power versus interest grid, (2) a stakeholder influence diagram; (3) bases of power-directions of interest diagrams; (4) a map for finding the common good and structuring a winning argume...
• Public management reform: Competing drivers of change AI翻译
  作者：Wise, LR
  作者单位：Indiana University System; Indiana University Bloomington
  摘要：Public management reforms often are portrayed as part of a global wave of change, and all organizational change is interpreted within a single reform paradigm that is rooted in economics and market-based principles. Reforms outside this paradigm go unnoticed. This article examines the assertion that different drivers of change competing with the dominant focus of management discourse remain present and influence the direction of reform. It presents three alternative drivers of change rooted in...
