The article aims at monitoring the information content of the websites of municipalities based on the case of Kemerovo Region-Kuzbass, one of the subjects of the Siberian Federal District. The main assessment criteria include such indicators as availability of regulatory information on the website, basic information about the municipality, information about the reception of citizens, thematic range and frequency of filling websites with information, availability of special interactive features, and others. This kind of research is relevant due to the need for further development of democratic practices at the regional level as the official websites of municipalities, along with developing social networks, are today a significant communication channel between the authorities and the population. As before, official websites allow solving a number of communication issues: they disseminate information about current events, ensure the work of “virtual reception offices”, provide an opportunity to make a request or file a complaint about the poor performance of their duties by public utilities. In addition, high-quality and timely updating of information on the websites of municipalities does not only affect the public sentiment with regard to representatives of the municipal level, but also shapes public assessment of the work of all authorities at the regional level – the parliament, the Government of Kuzbass and the head of the region. The monitoring results made it possible to identify a number of recommendations to the regional and municipal authorities of the region, in particular, the need to create a unified modern format of the website structure for all municipalities with high-quality, attractive appearance, the need to unify the structure of official sites for the convenience of both finding information and working with it, and creating special needs versions of websites for the visually impaired (when such versions are absent)

Sticking Point

Recycling economy, as a new type of development model and economic growth mode, will form a social resultant force in government promotion, enterprise entities and public participation. Thus, it is quite necessary to discuss on the economic behavior, development restriction and profit motive of the Government, enterprises and the public as the micro-economic entities. Especially in the process of current recycling economic development of China, the sticking point for further development and achievement of Chinese recycling economy lies so much on how to enhance the intrinsic dynamics of the enterprises for developing the recycling economy.

Advocacy Role

Using stakeholder theory and a historical case study, I examine how key stakeholders failed to challenge the Alberta provincial government’s fiscal reforms, leading to the emergence of an unlikely champion in the Calgary hospital laundry workers. Notwithstanding that several prominent and powerful professional groups had the opportunity to oppose the government’s reforms, these groups either acquiesced or sought compromise individually with the government. This case calls into question the professions’ ability to protect public institutions under their domain. Points for practitioners In terms of potential implications for public administrators, this case provides an example of professional failure to intercede in the public interest, despite having the power and legitimacy to act according to stakeholder theory. This raises questions as to the circumstances under which professional groups will exercise their advocacy role. Unaddressed are the conditions under which relatively powerless demanding stakeholders can acquire power and legitimacy. Accordingly, administrators ‘relying’ upon established stakeholders as barometers of public opinion may misread public sentiment.

Conceptual Foundations

This chapter discusses the conceptual foundations of introducing market forces in the public sector, drawing on pioneering work by the British academic Julian Le Grand. Creating market-like conditions in tax-financed welfare services (so-called quasi-markets) is a way to empower users and introduce competition among providers. Ideally, service provision will be efficient, responsive, equitable, and of high quality. Such ideal outcomes are, however, far from guaranteed to materialize. A crucial and defining characteristic of quasi-markets is that the end-users do not pay for the services consumed. As a result, care needs to be taken that the incentives of the buyer (the public sector) and the sellers (private firms) are properly aligned. The chapter also brings out the main challenges for quality and contract design that are discussed in depth in later chapters. A fundamental challenge for the government is to assess and monitor quality in welfare services, be they provided directly by the public sector or by the private sector.

Purpose The objectives of this present study are twofold. First, it aims to investigate the performance objectives of PPP implementation in Malaysia. Second, it aims to examine the differences in the perceptions of two PPP key players – the public and private sectors – pertaining to the performance objectives. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire survey was used to elicit the perceptions of the public and private sectors concerning the performance objectives of PPP projects in Malaysia; 237 usable responses were obtained and analysed using SPSS to rank the importance of the performance objectives and to examine the differences in the perceptions between the government and private sectors. Findings The results reveal that the five most important performance objectives for PPP implementation in Malaysia based on overall respondents’ perceptions are “High-quality public service”, “Provide convenient service for society”, “Within or under budget”, “On-time or earlier” and “Satisfy the need for more public facilities”. As for differences in the perceptions of the two key players, only one objective was perceived as statistically more important by the public sector respondents than by their private sector counterparts. Originality/value The contribution of this paper is that it not only provides empirical evidence for the performance objectives for PPP implementation in Malaysia, but also offers evidence concerning the differences in the perceptions of the public and private sectors pertaining to the performance objectives.

The clash between religious-based groups, including problems with places of worship and deterrence of national Muslim leaders, has highly escalated in North Sulawesi.This is inversely proportional to the branding of North Sulawesi, especially Manado as a tolerant city. The public spotlight certainly leads to leadership at the regional level. Currently, the provincial government under the leadership of Olly Dondokambey, in terms of policy matters, is not very visible and has not been implemented, taking sides on diversity issues like what President Jokowi poured in Nawacita, which was revealed in many policies. In this article, the author notes that in many instances the government was less involved in the process of resolving clashes between groups. This article is written with a phenomenological approach, reveals cases, and analyzes them. The conclusion in this article is in the form of a recommendation to strengthen the regional vision and mission in favor of the issue of diversity.

Purpose When disasters occur, the Chinese national or local government and their relevant departments (hereinafter referred to as the government) probably need to acquire emergency supplies from suppliers. Before concluding a transaction, the public officials usually negotiate the quality and price of the emergency supplies with the suppliers. They expect to achieve the best relief effect while the suppliers want to maximize their own interests. Therefore, in order to help the government acquire inexpensive emergency supplies with high quality in a short time, the purpose of this paper is to examine the negotiation process and proposes a negotiation principle for the staff. Design/methodology/approach This paper first elaborates the characteristics and impact factors of emergency supplies requisition negotiation. Then it establishes a model describing the negotiation on price and quality of emergency supplies between the public officials and suppliers. Afterwards, it proposes an algorithm which can estimate the success rate of the negotiation. Finally, the paper employs the conclusion of the model and algorithm to analyze the emergency supplies requisition negotiation process during the China Lushan earthquake. Findings This paper proposes a “WRAD” principle of emergency supplies requisition negotiation of public officials in disasters. First, they should ensure the requisition price is not too low. Second, they would widen the difference between the high price and low price. Third, it is best for them to follow the principle of “ascending negotiation and descending choice” while selecting multiple suppliers to negotiate. Originality/value This paper establishes a model to study the emergency supplies requisition negotiation process between the public officials and suppliers based on evolutionary game theory. The model assumes that both the public officials and suppliers are not fully rational individuals, and they need time to consult with each other to find out the optimal solution. This paper proposes an innovative action principle of the public officials during the negotiation process which can help it to acquire inexpensive, high-quality, emergency supplies within a short period from the suppliers.

In order to promote efficiency and the development of hospitals’ services, the Government of Indonesia has issued specific policy which require all of the government-owned hospitals to be managed based on the principals applied in public services agency (Badan Layanan Umum/Badan Layanan Umum Daerah (BLU/BLUD)). The policy of BLU/BLUD is to grant each hospital authorization in managing their funds and resources under the principles of public accounting. Unfortunately, not all government-owned hospitals were granted BLU/BLUD authorization, especially hospitals outside of Jakarta, because local government did not wish to lose one of their main income. The main focus of this research is to calculate the efficiency of the hospitals of which have been granted BLU/BLUD, since one of the main purposes of BLU/BLUD is to provide high quality and efficient health care to the public. The measurement of hospitals’ efficiency is not an easy thing to do, since there are so many inputs and outputs that were related to each other. Which is why, this research is measuring the efficiency level using the DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) which is able to provide efficiency calculation with multiple inputs and outputs. With the total samples of 82 BLU/BLUD hospitals, this research concluded that the average of hospital’s efficiency score is still on the level of 78.9 % out of 100%.
