Public service logic
The high level of interest in public service logic has increased the number of studies using this research stream. However, the unclear position of public service logic presents challenges in delineating its role within public administration management research. Thus, this paper systematizes the existing research, identifies the main research themes, and proposes several future research directions. This research provides a structured synthesis of…
The ‘service turn’ in a new public management context
It is increasingly argued that public management should build on a service logic instead of the prevailing manufacturing logic of New Public Management (NPM). Drawing from three cases in Swedish public healthcare, key features of a service logic such as value creation, co-production, and collaboration are prominent in formal documents and everyday talk. However, the 67 interviews in this study reveal that the service logic ideal is practically un…
Experts’ contribution to strategy when strategy is absent. A case study of quality experts in hospitals
This study investigates how new categories of experts can contribute to strategy development in public organizations. Interplay between managers and experts was analysed using principal-agent theory, stewardship theory, and partnership theory, each assigning the experts different kinds of strategic contribution. Results show that experts may contribute to an iterative and emergent strategy process as stewards through a consultative process method…

Such practices are becoming increasingly popular in the construction sector, but remain scattered, which hinders the effective creation, use and d…
Patient involvement 2.0
Strong professionals who influence the development of healthcare services have dominated healthcare organizations for many years. However, this dominance has been challenged recently through patient involvement. One method of achieving patient involvement is experience-based co-design (EBCD), in which patients and healthcare professionals work together to improve care. Patient involvement has considerable potential, but also presents certain chal…
