A ‘Sticky’ Past
The dark side of public-private partnerships
Different public-private partnerships may exhibit various characteristics, yet we understand little about the impact of imbalanced power dynamics among partners on the success or failure of partnerships. This study focuses on the private actor, an incumbent bank coerced into a collaborative governance configuration aimed at addressing the wicked problem of fighting financial crime. We investigate the response strategies of organizational members …
Glorifying and scapegoating narratives underlying activity-based workspaces in higher education
PurposeOur study centered on activity-based workspaces (ABWs), unassigned open-plan configurations where users' activities determine the workplace. These workspaces are conceived and shaped by accommodation professionals (APs) like managers and architects and are loaded with their ideas, ideals, norms and values; therefore, they are normative and hegemonic. Previous research has largely failed to consider how APs' spatial conceptions materialize …
Turning New Public Management theory into reality
Within the literature of governance and policy making in the context of planning, the notion of performativity is specifically conceptualized as the self-fulfilling property of performances – such as story-telling – that shape public reality. One specific stream of performativity researchers – dominant in the realm of organization studies – focuses on the enactment of academic theory into reality. We contribute to this idea of bringing theory int…
Framing the Zone
Storytelling is regarded as an important practice within planning processes. Seminal contributions (Throgmorton, 1992 Throgmorton, J. (1992) Planning as persuasive storytelling about the future: Negotiating an electric power rate settlement in Illinois, Journal of Planning Education and Research, 12, pp. 17–31.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar], Journal of Planning Education and Research, 12, pp. 17–31; Flyvbjerg, 1998 Flyvbjerg, B.

Decision-making as performative struggle
Purpose- The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of performative struggle through the use of an interpretative case story focussed on a strategic decision-making process concerning infrastructural development. Performativity is about "world-making" (Carteret al., 2010), based on the assumption that conceptual schemes are not only prescriptions of the world, for the practices flowing from these abstract ideas bring into being the wor…
The Social Construction of Public Infrastructure
Disclosure of governmental map related information is increasingly being conceptualized as management of inter-organizational National Spatial Data Infrastructures (NSDIs). Until now, studies have been published on how NSDI projects should be designed, set up and monitored. While these approaches have gained some recognition when applied in practice, little is known about what happens when design rules are translated into daily project routines. …
Public–private transformations. Institutional shifts, cultural changes and altering identities
The central question of this article is which changes in cultural orientation arise during institutional transformation within public–private hybrid organizations. The article presents a theoretical review, using the Dutch interaction model, in which various models of institutional transformation and cultural change are brought up. We present two case studies which are part of an inter–university study of hybridization and processes of privatizat…
