Beyond the Turtle Approach
Equity issues persist in defining public sector women as in need of accommodation, including during times of child‐rearing or caregiving. The authors argue instead that viewing the fullness of a woman ' s existence should empower others to see broad life experiences as a benefit to be fostered. Public service organizations and the academy should build policies and systems that recognize this value and work to cultivate, rather than accommodate. W…
Mega-Gifts
Blending organizational types enables public agencies to seek alternative resources, sometimes yielding mega-gifts large enough to transform the public institution and its agenda. Administrative discretion enables administrators to shape priorities based on negotiations with donors. Drawing on two cases, we examine administrative discretion in negotiating mega-gifts and implementing changes. Two findings suggest that as hybridization increases, t…
Organizational Learning in the Public Sector
A foundational principle of organizational learning is that it is a process requiring changing short-term rules and long-term norms. As public organizations are required to accomplish more with less, agencies are seeking innovative ways to increase programmatic effectiveness and efficiency. By using the lenses of organizational culture, public-sector politics, and public performance, this research gains insight from exploring the literature on le…
Irrelevance of “Public Use” in State Eminent Domain Reforms
“Public use” is a constitutional limitation on the governmental authority to take private property using eminent domain. This study finds that it is irrelevant, an artifact of the federal constitution, in state reforms enacted in the last decade. Expansive language permitting economic development and private development have rendered public use to be merely symbolic. Forty-six states enacted takings reforms following Kelo v. New London, a landmar…
The Little Blue Pill That Killed the Little Pink House
Community and business interests are set in opposition, rather than in a harmonious balance, in the 2005 landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in Kelo v. New London. The narrative of eminent domain, through the lens of Kelo, highlights these conflicting values. The case presents a local government that used its power of takings to attract Pfizer, the pharmaceutical conglomerate, to build a plant for production of the little blue pill, which symbol…
Public Good as Public Interest
In its landmark 2005 Kelo v. New London decision, the Supreme Court invited state legislatures to enact stricter eminent domain legislation. This study invites readers to consider the terms "public good" and "public interest" in the context of such legislation. The distinctions between the two terms are important because of the deference shown to administrators in interpreting and implementing post-Kelo law. The proposed principle of tangibility …
The Kelo Opportunity
Applying a normative-constitutionalist perspective on public administration ethics, this study explores the disconnect between the United States Supreme Court's eminent domain decisions and the framers' values of private property rights and the public good. Kelo v. New London (2005) presented the Court with an opportunity to reevaluate its stance on takings. Although the Court missed the opportunity, the case has been transformed into an opportun…
