  • Outcomes-based contracts and the hidden turn to public value management

    Open AccessJonathan Kimmitt, Pablo MuñozARTICLEOrganization2024

    Despite long-standing criticisms of the paradigm, New Public Management (NPM) retains a strong influence over organizations in public administration. Social Impact Bonds (SIB) are an outcomes-oriented investment entity which has emerged from NPM with grand promises of social change. Building on a longitudinal case study of a health-based SIB, this paper identifies how key actors move away from NPM by resisting such management principles and shift…

  • Trans-contextual work

    Open AccessPablo Muñoz, Jonathan Kimmitt et al.ARTICLESmall Business Economics2024

    This study explores how entrepreneurs “do” contexts in peripheral areas.

  • The institutional work of creating and implementing Social Impact Bonds

    Lowe, Toby Lowe et al.ARTICLEPolicy & Politics2019Cited by: 8

    Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) are a new and increasingly popular public policy tool which link payments to outcomes thus, in theory, transferring risk from governments to private investors. This paper draws on the concepts of institutional work and discursive institutionalism to analyse how a SIB influenced the rules, norms and decisions of key actors. It identifies two dominant discourses. One focused on addressing the social determinants of health…
