讲座简介

01

Theories of decision-making in public organizations

This lecture covers three perspectives from organization theory. First, an instrumental-structural perspective, based in the works on bounded rationality by Herbert Simon, where it’s presupposed that public leaders have relatively clear intentions, good knowledge and control over decision-making processes. The perspective comes in two version, one hierarchical and one negotiational. Second, the cultural perspectives deal with the importance of informal norms, path-dependency and cultural compatibility for public decision-making. Third, the myth perspective deals with the importance of general ideas, symbols, fads and fashions in public organizations. The lecture will also give examples of the use of these perspectives in diverse studies.

02

Comparative public sector reforms

This lecture starts with describing the main features of the two reform waves New Public Management (NPM) and post-NPM, starting in the early 1980s and late 1990s respectively, in Australia and New Zealand. The background and driving forces, main features and effects are discussed. Following this, it will be discussed how China is learning from the West concerning modern public reforms and how much Chinese reforms have typical Chinese characteristics. Finally, perspectives from organization theory will be used to discuss how useful they are for understanding comparative public sector reform in general and reforms in China more specifically.

03

The administrative burden in public service provisions

The lecture starts with defining what is meant by administrative burden in public service provisions, followed by different aspects of burdens, including burdens related to policy design and implementation. Then different type of costs that are experienced by users of services are outlined – learning costs, compliance costs and psychological costs. Administrative burdens are related to the differentiated role of diverse stakeholders and the encounters they experience and these are further discussed. At the end, organization theory perspectives on administrative burdens will be discussed. Several examples will also be provided.

04

Reputation management in public organizations

The lecture starts with discussing what is typical for reputation and reputation management in public organizations, including what the diverse theoretical background is in different fields. This is followed by outlining the main types of reputation proposed by Carpenter–performative, moral, professional/ technical and judicial. Then the challenges of balancing the symbols are discussed. Further on, what is characterizing reputation management in comparative perspective is discussed, and some main results from a study of universities in China, US and the Nordic countries are discussed.
