Strategic Management of the Transition to Public Sector Co-Creation
As the practices of public governance are rapidly changing, so must the theoretical frameworks for understanding the creation of efficient, effective and democratic governance solutions.
First published as a special issue of Policy & Politics journal, this book explores the role of strategic management, digitalisation and generative platforms in encouraging the co-creation of innovative public value outcomes. It considers why we must transform the public sector to drive co-creation and the importance of integrating different theoretical strands when studying processes, barriers and outcomes.
This book lays out important stepping-stones for the development of new research into the ongoing transition to co-creation as a mode of governance.
“This book refocuses on co-creation by looking at its new dimensions, and even more at its current drivers which become indispensable core principles of democratic and effective governance.” Geert Bouckaert, KU Leuven Public Governance Institute
"This timely book provides a comprehensive review that sets out to integrate different theories to underline how strategic management and digitalisation in public service delivery processes foster new forms of innovative co-creation process. " John R. Bryson, University of Birmingham
