INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE NEWS COLLABORATION AMONG GOVERNMENT, MARKET, AND SOCIETY: FORGING PARTNERSHIPS AND ENCOURAGING COMPETITION

摘要

Collaboration has become a major solution to modern public administration issues that demand sharing of information, increased productivity, more efficient use of resources, and greater legitimacy among multiple actors from various sectors (Donahue & Zeckhauser, 2011). Countries, despite their varying contexts and conditions, have jumped on this bandwagon and embraced the idea of thinner, more adaptive, more entrepreneurial, and more collaborative government. Although this demand creates strong momentum toward innovation and synergy in the public sector, it challenges existing values, processes, and institutions of the government. This, in turn, raises the overarching question of how government can adopt and manage collaborative processes that are sustainable and vital.
