In the recent attempt to add an external wing to its economy, Singapore has been using its various agencies and instruments to promote the growth of micro enterprises and other types of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Recognising the potential contribution by entrepreneurs to help sustain economic growth for the country, the Singapore government is now embarking on a proactive public policy to motivate new business entrepreneurship. This paper shows how the government has worked with industry to encourage entrepreneurship development. Particular attention is paid to the activities of various government agencies in relation to new business entrepreneurship and to the barriers of this activity in Singapore. The Singapore experience and programme offer useful insights for policy development and management by other countries in the region.

Public policy to assess the performance of public services has been regulated in Law Number 25 Year 2009 on Public Service, Government Regulation No. 96 Year 2012 on Implementation of Law Number 25 Year 2009 on Public Service. Technically regulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform No. 38 of 2012 on Guidelines for Assessment of Performance of Public Service Units. Various performance appraisal policies of public service units in public organizations need to be continuously socialized and applied within the Ministry/ Institution/Government environment. Given such an assessment it strongly encourages the innovation of various types of public services to create better public services over time. With the realization of a better public service this is one of the goals of bureaucracy reform.

Economic Thinking

In recent years much has been written about the declining status of the humanities and the effect this has had on teaching and the curriculum. This article begins by examining some key defenses for teaching and studying the humanities that have been offered in the literature and points to their limitations. It is argued that in a policymaking environment dominated by economic thinking, the justifications for teaching the humanities that are based on identifying its intrinsic and social values are bound to have little appeal for policymakers. It is also maintained that the attempt to justify teaching the humanities based on their possible contribution to increasing production is unconvincing. The article then proposes a new defense for teaching the humanities that stems from recent developments in economic thinking and public policy-making. It is proposed that teaching the humanities can be defended on the basis of its potential contribution to altering consumption patterns and offering ways to convert wealth into happiness more effectively. The article does not suggest that the defense proposed here is the only or best way to defend the humanities, but rather that it can have an important instrumental value in persuading policymakers to invest more in teaching the humanities.

The problem of domestic violence that exists in Ukraine is recognized as a serious problem and requires significant and comprehensive efforts to its solution, as well as the involvement of various actors, whose activities are aimed at overcoming domestic violence. Public organizations play an important role in such activities, the role of which is reflected in the Law of Ukraine “On Prevention and Counteraction to Domestic Violence”. The scientific novelty of the article is to study the directions and forms of work of public organizations in the field of prevention and counteraction to domestic violence and their systematization, introduction into scientific circulation of analytical materials and information prepared by public organizations. The research methodology is based on a dialectical approach to the cognition of socio-legal phenomena through comparative and legal analysis of definitions, historical and analytical methods in studying the activities of public organizations and their participation in the formation and implementation of public policy, using the observation method. Analysis of the work of public organizations as subjects of state policy to prevent and combat domestic violence provided grounds to clarify the systematization of the main areas of such work. Such grounds include prevention of domestic violence, advocacy of ratification of the Istanbul Convention, advocacy, participation in public policy (development of programs at the national and regional levels), work with offenders, training of specialists, policy monitoring and provision of services to victims. Forms of work of public organizations develop in time and space, in accordance with the needs of practical activities. Improving the efficiency of public organizations is seen in their networking, strengthening cooperation with scientific and educational institutions.

Knowledge Management Theory

Knowledge-based services (KBS) comprise a major portion of services acquired by public organizations. However, their procurement is not well managed; consequently, inefficiencies abound. Therefore, this study explores whether and how KBS can be sourced more efficiently by examining best practices and precepts from knowledge management theory. A spend analysis of one agencyʼs spend is used to identify the types of KBS procured. Interviews from 12 cases are then used to identify best practices and cost drivers in sourcing KBS. Twenty one recommendations for improving efficiency in sourcing KBS are offered. The findings suggest that potential is available from demand reduction strategies, and that public policy governing the procurement of knowledge is needed. The research concludes with theoretical implications and suggestions for future research.

Adoption Theory

The ability to understand the salient aspects of innovations, as perceived by the members of a social system, is essential to the success of planned change. The diffusion of information technology in the public sector provides the opportunity to apply the appropriateness of diffusion theory in a combined context of information technology and public policy innovation. Past studies support the salience of diffusion theory and the adoption of information technology (Attewell, 1992; Brancheau & Wetherbe, 1990; Chau & Tam, 1997; Cooper & Zmud, 1990; Damanpour, 1991; Fichman, 1992; Swanson, 1994; Tornatzky & Fleischer, 1990). Other studies suggest that existing theory in public policy adoption adequately provide a framework to guide research in technology adoption in the public sector (Akers, 2006; Berman & Martin, 1992; Berry, 1994; Berry & Berry, 1990; Glick & Hays, 1991; Gray, 1973; Hays, 1996; Hwang & Gray, 1991; Mintrom, 1997; Rogers, 1962; True & Mintrom, 2001; Walker, 1969; Welch & Thompson, 1980) However, there is little research that combines both frameworks for understanding the adoption of information technology in public organizations or within political subdivisions. Using classical diffusion theory, information technology adoption, and public policy adoption theory, there is sufficient contextual relevance of these theories to guide research in the adoption of public information technology in public organizations and political subdivisions.
