Purpose – The purpose of this study is to investigate on what is value and value creation in Public–private partnerships (PPPs)? How coordination and trust among project partners is created in PPPs? In which way coordination and trust among project partners are related to organizational governance and success? How risk management is related to the success or failure of PPP project implementation? How organizational attributes can influence the PPP project implementation? Design/methodology/approach – This study was conducted using qualitative research method. In all, 3 Indian PPPs were selected in the first phase, and then, 26 respondents were randomly chosen from the selected PPPs. One-to-one personal discussion was conducted with each respondents using predetermined set of questions. The responses were transcribed, and similar ideas were clustered together across the thematic research questions and themes. Subsequently, interlinking of themes and ideas was done through inductive reasoning and represented in the form of a causal relationship. Findings – The study found that the importance of trust and confidence among project partners; organizational attributes (system, structure and style, process) of partner organizations; and the risk reduction and control in the PPP project company have influenced the relationship dynamics among project partners. Originality/value – This study encourages future researchers to empirically test the possibility of existence of mediating and moderating effects in the link between value creation and contract management in PPPs. A structural framework was derived, which is expected to provide momentum for theoretical exploration and empirical verification.

AbstractIn recent years, public administration has been targeted by multiple reform efforts. In multiple instances, such initiatives have been ideologically couched in public-choice perspectives and entrenched beliefs that government is the problem. One unavoidable consequence of this continued bout of criticism is the fact that government currently has a noticeably decreased capacity of boosting creation of public value. Within this context, there certainly is an important need for approaches that would counterbalance the loss of public value induced by market fundamentalism. This article suggests that leadership, as a concept of theory and practice, due to its partial immunity to the private-public dichotomy, can provide a pragmatic avenue for nurturing public interest and public value within the devolution of governance, a declining trust in government and a diminished governmental capacity to propagate the creation of public value. While this article critically examines and assesses the capacity of different leadership perspectives in terms of creating and maximizing public value, its primary scope is not the provision of definite answers but rather the instigation of a much necessary discussion.

Rapid advances and the spread of digital technologies have changed the expectations of citizens, firms and organizations towards government services, which increasingly receive the call to transform services and structures according to changed needs and preferences. The concept of business model development provides a suitable approach for public institutions aiming at adjusting their services and operations. Since government institutions increasingly develop new services and products, this study provides a theoretic foundation to operational readiness as well as a guideline how to set up digital business models in a public sector context. Therefore, a framework is derived from conceptual studies in the field as well as related theoretical concepts such as business model theory in the public sector context, dynamic capacities and public value creation. Building on this foundation this study conceptualizes a process of business model development to create user oriented digital services in the public sector.

Public value is a new and important concept in the field of public administration. A large number of researchers has focused on the concept of public value during the last 10 years or so. This concept gives a new idea of public management with the theme of people’s first approach to facilitate them. Public value creation is the main concern of public managers in today’s public sector organizations. This paper presents a systematic literature review of 413 articles published on the topic of public value in Scopus index journals from 1995 to 2018. A large number of articles on public value shows the importance of the concept of public value. This systematic literature review reveals that most of the work on public value has been done in developed countries like USA, UK, Australia, and Netherland and developing countries are far behind on the research of public value.

Nell'attuale scenario economico-competitivo, lo studio delle reti d'impresa (Bastia, 1989; D'Alessio, 2008; Cafaggi, 2004; Lipparini, 2002; Lorenzoni, 1992) consente di enfatizzare il ruolo svolto dalla cooperazione tra piů organizzazioni sia pubbliche, sia private. In questa direzione, con l'avvento dell'economia della conoscenza, le imprese creano valore collettivo per effetto dell'azione di gruppo e degli interessi coinvolti nel sistema organizzativo a rete. Le opportunitŕ che si presentano alle aziende coinvolte nella rete sono molteplici: l'investimento relazionale favorisce l'interdipendenza tra i differenti sistemi aziendali e ne rafforza la loro complementarietŕ; ogni processo cooperativo influenza ciascuna impresa della rete. Nelle aziende pubbliche, tale fenomeno č noto come New Public Governance (Bovaird, 2002; Lynn et al., 2007): all'interno di una rete locale si trovano aziende pubbliche e private la cui azione č protesa alla realizzazione del bene comune (Zamagni,2008). In questo senso, il passaggio dal New Public Management al New Public Governance ha permesso di valorizzare il concetto di network indagandolo quale rete di soggetti o entitŕ interagenti tra loro, in grado di guidare le loro relazioni verso il raggiungimento di un obiettivo comune: il public value creation (Moore, 2005). In questa direzione, il presente contributo si propone di analizzare il concetto di rete, con particolare riferimento alle possibili configurazioni che possono assumere i network pubblici locali. Nel caso di specie, lo studio si concentra sui network all'interno dei quali esiste la presenza dell'istituzione universitaria quale catalizzatrice del sapere e fonte della creazione di valore pubblico locale. Mediante l'esperienza dell'Universitŕ di Cassino, lo studio si propone di definire il ruolo dell'universitŕ rispetto al contesto territoriale di riferimento e quale impatto economico-sociale genera la sua azione. La domanda di ricerca č la seguente: Che cosa sono i network? Nell'ottica della New Public Governance, qual č il ruolo svolto dalle universitŕ nel sistema di rete? Č possibile individuare, in tal caso, un modello di rete?

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of local entrepreneurs, embedded in both the civil and the business arena, in creating public value by establishing strategic collaboration around smart technologies. Design/methodology/approach The paper suggests a novel – the local entrepreneurial – type of smart bottom-up initiative between civil grassroots and market-based initiatives. This idea is further evolved in the paper to define the patterns of this alternative type of smart bottom-up initiative. For this purpose, the paper conducts a case study of a community-based sustainable energy and mobility system launched by a local entrepreneur in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Findings The local entrepreneur has played a catalyzing role in public value creation by initiating and upscaling cooperative practices around smart technologies. This success has mainly been achieved due to the entrepreneurial attitudes of pioneering and risk-taking as well as the capability to bridge between the state, the market and society to accelerate urban sustainability transition. Practical implications This paper offers a practical illustration of the potential of local entrepreneurs to evolve cooperative practices with smart technologies for societal change. It also shows the vital role of local governments in the achievement of bottom-up initiatives contributing to urban smartness. However, in the case of commercializing initiatives, governments also need to take a balancing role to safeguard the needs of all citizens based on fairness and equity, which is at the core of public value creation. Originality/value The study adds to the citizen participation literature by revealing a novel type of active citizen grasping technological opportunities to mobilize networks to cooperate for the collective good. The research also contributes to a better understanding of the bottom-up smart city as a form of governance, and its advantages as well as drawbacks concerning public value creation.
