It is an occupational hazard in the study of organizations that we tend to view them as static arrangements, as though what
is observed and reported today tells us all we need to know about them. But organizations are dynamic rather than static phenomena,
being constantly affected by adjustments to meet the effects of fading past arrangements or approaching new arrangements.
Simple “snapshots” taken at a particular moment in history are never likely to reveal all the relevant nuances. This article
comments on this problem as it affects non-departmental public bodies often described loosely as “agencies”, by (a) drawing
attention to some relevant theoretical contributions to the political science and organization theory literature, and (b)
giving some examples of changes in the style of agency formation and operation over the years, mostly drawn from the Australian
public sector.

While many studies deal with comparative public sector reform, the fundamental question of whether and to what extent states
are actually able to abolish parts of their administrative structure remains untackled. Despite some efforts to solve this
puzzle, the topic remains underestimated. This article identifies the main conceptual and theoretical problems associated
with existent research on the termination of public organizations. Furthermore, the article systemizes various causal factors
of termination into two broad dimensions: “organizational stickiness” and “political incentives.” Taken together, these constitute
a typology, which is able to guide future empirical investigation of the termination of public organizations.

Public sector organizations collect vast amounts of information that often goes unused. Information may serve a symbolic role
to imply that decision makers are using rational decision processes, or it may be collected to rationalize a preconceived
decision and develop or maintain public support. Over-collection of irrelevant information or under-analysis of existing information
for decision implications leads to excessive public information costs with limited public benefit. The study discusses the
role systematic information misalignment plays in the public sector and considers its implications for public agency performance.
The concept is evaluated using examples from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The ability of public organizations to invest in emerging technologies is dependent upon the degree to which they can effectively
manage the risks of being a lead-user in a political environment. However, little is known about the dimensions and implications
of the different forms of risk faced by innovative public organizations as well as the strategies employed to manage them.
This paper addresses these issues by studying how one public agency implements a program of replacing its transportation fleet
with alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs).

The movement for a new public management (NPM) holds that citizens will put aside partisan and ideological differences to
support more efficient service delivery. Focusing on hospital privatization, a multi-national sample is utilized to investigate
this assertion. Generalized hierarchical linear modeling (GHLM) is employed as the method of statistical analysis. The findings
with regard to privatizing hospitals reveal that citizens develop their policy position by reference to a combination of symbolic
political variables, service demand, self-interest, information levels, and political efficacy. The results cast doubt on
the assertion that partisan differences will be set aside as citizens consider privatization reforms.

The paper attempts to analyze the consequences of political pressure placed on the Public Service Commission (PSC) of Bangladesh.
Through extensive literature review and empirical research, the authors conclude that the independence, efficiency and effectiveness
of the PSC largely depend on the politics–administration relationship. Furthermore, this relationship is affected by regime
types and it regulates the optimum functioning or malfunctioning of the institution.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been used to improve business supply chain management for over 35 years. As often
happens, private sector technology migrates to the public sector where it is adapted for use. RFID use in governments is spreading
far and wide at the federal and state levels with virtually no debate or performance analyses to inform adoption decisions.
Implementation of RFID technology impacts government efficiency and effectiveness in many areas. Data show that most RFID
applications promise enhanced effectiveness but also pose increased costs. A model is constructed to assist state and local
managers in choosing to adopt RFID and to discern the status and impacts of this bold new innovation.

This research examines the application of theories of organizational birth and death in transitional and undemocratic political
settings. Through the case study of the birth and death of the Ministry of Supplies and Marketing in Kenya, the author determines
that theoretical explanations of organizational formation and demise do not necessarily fit a uniform profile. Under unstable
and undemocratic environments, public organizations that are brought to life through decrees may also be unexpectedly vanished
without following a logical and predictable cyclical sequence.

A centralized political context such as China provides a harsh environment for public involvement program that intends to
share decision-making power with the public, however, there are still learning opportunities that can survive and prepare
the public for a meaningful participation in the future. This article illustrates this point by designing a public involvement
program that is implementable and educational in Nanji Islands, China. The public involvement program is designed to solve
conflicts and tension regarding to an immigration plan between the public and local government and organized by a third party.
It includes information sharing, public representatives election, and negotiation meeting between public representatives and
governmental officials. The six-dimension framework from Alterman’s classic work is employed to test its feasibility within
the local context.

Political Influence and Bureaucratic Autonomy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The establishment of autonomous public bodies during the past two decades has created a highly fragmented public sector. Using
a dataset with more than 200 Dutch public sector organisations, this article examines three related sets of questions: to
what extent a relationship exists between formal and de facto autonomy; the level of influence that interested parties exert
upon those organizations; whether a relationship exists between levels of formal and de facto autonomy and the level of influence
exercised by these parties. We find that formal autonomy does not reinforce de facto autonomy; organizations with less autonomy
report higher levels of political influence when policy autonomy is concerned; and that organizations with more autonomy report
higher societal influence on their financial autonomy.

To explore the determinants of global e-government performance, this paper examines the aggregate data of 163 different countries
by conducting multivariate statistical analysis. The results of multivariate regression analysis indicate that the performance
of digital government is likely to be determined by economic wealth, education, urbanization, civil liberties, government
effectiveness, and the interaction between Internet usage and economic wealth, while the extent of internet penetration alone
does not determine e-government performance. More importantly, this study indicates that government effectiveness is much
more important than any other factors in determining global e-government performance. The countries with high e-government
performance are likely to be the wealthy, developed, and Western countries or the rapidly developing Asian countries.

The present study intended to explore role of intra-organizational coordination in policy implementation in urban Bangladesh.
In doing so, an attempt was also made to investigate why and how problems of intra-organizational coordination take place
in policy implementation. The study was basically based on empirical data gathered during 2003–2004. The available data substantiated
that intra-organizational coordination is an important factor for policy implementation. Problems of coordination within organization
in urban Bangladesh take place owing to lack of institutionalized rules and regulation and problematic financial management.
Once coordination within organization is problematic, policy implementation is hampered which resulted in delay in project
completion, increase of cost and unsatisfactory public service delivery.

Strategic group literature has generated a significant amount of research over recent decades. However, the rivalry implications
of strategic group have remained unclear. This paper analyses rivalry and strategic groups in the house building industry
in a small town from a cognitive approach. We consider rivalry as a subjective and directional phenomenon. Estimating rivalry
as the direct identification of competitors we try to explain whether similarity affects rivalry and what factors make a company
a “rival”. Results show that perceived rivalry is strongly related to size, past performance, subjective similarity and strategic
group structure.

The influence of executive age,career horizon and incentives on pre-turnover earnings management 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Wallace N. DavidsonIII Biao Xie Weihong Xu Yixi Ning 《Journal of Management and Governance》2007,11(1):45-60
In this paper we hypothesize that CEOs will be motivated to manage earnings prior to a turnover decision. This motivation
comes from the horizon problem for CEOs nearing retirement age and for CEOs whose profit-based bonus is a large portion of
their total compensation. We find that firms in which CEOs are nearing retirement age have large discretionary accruals in
the year prior to turnover. Although we find firms with a larger proportion of profit-based bonus pay have larger discretionary
accruals, this result is not robust with the inclusion of control variables in the regressions.

Much of the discussion of state steering of service delivery networks to encourage collaboration at the local level has been
theoretical. This study builds on this analysis systematically to assess the relationship between meta-governance tools of
central government steering and the extent of local collaboration, using the case of homelessness services in England. Contrary
to the pessimist expectations of some contemporary theory, central government funding tools and facilitating the transfer
of best practice encourages collaboration. However, simple information provision and authority based tools are only partially
effective, risking tokenistic compliance. Authority tools are more effective when combined with other tools.

The New Public Management (NPM) has often been favorably contrasted with European Public Administration (EPA). This paper
attempts to balance this Anglo-American perspective with a relatively new European critique of NPM which its authors call
the Neo-Weberian State (NWS). Despite their differences in some key respects, however, it is argued that the NPM and NWS are
similar in their sweeping paradigmatic character, their ambiguities and internal inconsistencies, their inability to go beyond
instrumental rationality and incorporate forms of hermeneutic and critical reason, and in their advocacy of bureaucracy via
participation under certain historical conditions, hence consistent with Weber’s characterization of modern organization and
management. The paper, based on the authors’ rendering of critical social theory, provides a fresh means for bridging the
two perspectives.

This paper explores a new organizational form—modular organization—through a case-study approach. The aim is to isolate the
specific properties that set this form apart from other known organizational forms. The case studies examined focus on the
manufacturing process of small, medium and large companies in different industries, and provide a clear picture of modular
organization. The analysis shows that modular organizations are an innovation per se and not the mere outcome of modular products.
Modular organizations leverage decomposition by employing small units within a larger organization. Each unit is responsible
for a specific domain, it is quasi-independent and makes autonomous decisions on various business issues. Modular organizations
deal with suppliers directly, and are characterized by a flat structure. Companies based on modular organization can improve
their efficiency in the high-tech and mature markets, and fully exploit their resources.

Robert Mark Silverman 《Public Organization Review》2009,9(3):235-246
This article compares how local public administrators and executive directors of community-based housing organizations (CBHO)
perceive nonprofit funding decisions. The article’s findings suggest that both groups shared perceptions about the scope of
affordable housing and factors influencing its funding. Yet, important differences existed. Public administrators were ambivalent
about nonprofit capacity and affordable housing outcomes. They also underestimated the importance of networks, partnerships,
and minority leadership. Professionals in the nonprofit sector underestimated fair housing concerns and overestimated the
importance of promoting homeownership. These insights improve our understanding of the connection between funding patterns,
public-nonprofit sector relations, local governance, and administrative structures.
