Global Public Sector and Political Communication

2019

Public and political organizations exist to maintain societies in more or less democratic settings. Both political and public sector organizations have traditionally been blamed for several ills in society including inefficiency, bureaucracy, serving their own needs above others’ and corruption. Though each public sector and political organization is a product of its own time and environment, there seem to be certain global trends that challenge them: rapid change, use of social media, citizen diversity, and novel forms of citizen activism for example question the more traditional means of communication. How public entities and politicians communicate with citizens and publics is of strateg…

Successful crisis communication in the public sector : communication experts' views on best practices and quality

2011

Crisis communication measurements have been adopted in many Finnish public sector organizations in past few years, but there has been a little research about how effective the plans and the measurements made are. Focus of this research is to define public sector communication experts’ views on best practices behind crisis communication and clarify how they evaluate quality in crisis communication in the public sector. The aim of the study is also to see the comparison between the theory and the views that the public sector experts have. The study is part of the international research “Developing a Crisis Communication Scorecard, coordinated by the Communication department of University of J…

Le Potenzialità del Trust come Veicolo Istituzionale Prescelto per Responsabilizzare il Terzo Settore nel Recupero e nella Valorizzazione del Patrimo…

2019

Italian Abstract: In Italia, la tutela del patrimonio culturale e sempre stata demandata principalmente allo Stato o, piu in generale, al settore pubblico, soprattutto alla luce della naturale vocazione degli attori pubblici a perseguire interessi generali. Tuttavia, oggigiorno tale “automatismo burocratico” e stato messo in discussione da due macro-trends in atto: da un lato la fine del monopolio degli attori pubblici nella cura dell’interesse generale, in ragione dei crescenti vincoli di bilancio; dall’altro, la speculare emersione a livello comunale di iniziative di “cittadini attivi” disposti a farsi carico della tutela di interessi generali e del proposito di recupero e di valorizzazio…

Getting a Grip on the Private Sport Sector in Europe

2017

Contemporary sport is organized and developed around public, voluntary and private sectors. Especially public and voluntary sport sectors have been approached in recent publications in Europe, where sport has traditionally been formed around state involvement and non-profit sport clubs. Private sport sector has received less attention in research because the field is multidimensional, fragment and difficult to define. Private sport sector comprises all profit making, commercial companies and other organisations and events that produce and sell sport goods and services with the aim of making monetary profit. The demand for sport-related products and services has been growing for many years. …

Entrepreneurship Training and Self-Employment among University Graduates

2012

In economies characterized by low labor demand and high rates of youth unemployment, entrepreneurship training has the potential to enable youth to gain skills and create their own jobs. This paper presents experimental evidence on a new entrepreneurship track that provides business training and personalized coaching to university students in Tunisia. Undergraduates in the final year of licence appliquee were given the opportunity to graduate with a business plan instead of following the standard curriculum. This paper relies on randomized assignment of the entrepreneurship track to identify impacts on labor market outcomes one year after graduation. The analysis finds that the entrepreneur…

POLICY INNOVATION AND IMPLEMENTATION IN PUBLIC SECTOR: COMPLEXITIES, DYNAMICS AND UNCERTAINTIES

This research is expected to contribute to the knowledge base on how an effective impact assessment and adoption of innovations in the public sector could be facilitated. The need for trans-disciplinary assessment of the long-term potential impacts of innovation-driven policies may well be met with system dynamics as part of the dynamic performance management approach by way of modelling based simulation and analysis. Moreover, such analysis may contribute to learning and the accumulation of a knowledge repository that enables strategy developers, policy designers and decision makers to arrive at unexpected (often called counterintuitive) conclusions prior to policy implementation. Such ins…

E-Government's Role in Shifting the Paradigm of Performance in the Public Sector

2015

The emergence of e-government changed the world of the Public Administration (PA) and the discipline of Public Management dramatically. Through the presentation of a case- study of the municipality of Palermo, this article attempts to discuss the renewed need for assessing performance of e-government services in a local government and to disclose the main critical issues in accomplishing this evaluation. Palermo is experiencing the implementation of a second- generation e-government project that is embodied in the realization of a web portal. The conceptualization of a framework to assess the performance of the digital services appears to be crucial in order to improve the system and to avo…

The Mechanics of Progress in Education: Evidence from Cross-Country Data

1998

The document examines first the relationship between a number of indicators concerning a country system of education (global and per-pupil public resources by level of schooling, education coverage, quality of educational outcomes, efficiency in student flow, external efficiency, equity by gender and in resource allocation, ..) and and its environment (overall sector context, demographic pressure fiscal, capacity, structure of employment, ..) on the one hand, its level of economic development on the other. The paper analyzes how the economic development affects the amount of resources mobilized for the sector with the finding that the main source of resources lies in the decrease of the tea…

A Triple-Helix Model of Sustainable Government Information Infrastructure: Case Study of the eProcurement System in the Indonesian Public Sector

2013

Lack of sustainability is one of the problems in information system (IS) implementation in developing countries, such as Indonesia. More specifically, this is the case in eGovernment implementation. Using an interpretive research stance in a case study of the eProcurement system in the public sector, the study reveals that the concept of information infrastructure (II) can be used to understand the sustainability issue. Findings suggest that applying the concept of II in IS development and implementation can improve the sustainability of an IS in the public sector, especially one that is used across government agencies and levels. The paper proposes a triple-helix model of a government II c…
