Strategizing public value
To extend conceptual and empirical understanding of the strategizing required for public service organizations (PSOs) to create public value (PV), this paper applies a practice framework to analyse the practitioners, praxis, and practices of PV strategizing in two PSOs. Our findings present PV strategizing as a creative and innovative craft that is oblique in the sense that it rests on reflexive wayfinding, more than prescriptive waysetting. Our …
Co-created public value
This paper presents the first analysis of the way that co-creation can be used as the primary approach to problem-solving within organisations that operate a public value model of strategic management (co-created public value). We begin by drawing from previous scholarship to introduce a preliminary model of three activities required to co-create public value: defining public value, mobilizing support, and building capacity. After introducing the…
Towards purposeful business schools
Building on recent suggestions that business schools’ instrumental (outcomes-focussed) strategies should be replaced by the pursuit of their purpose to enhance the public good, this paper answers the special edition’s call to consider business school futures by presenting a foresight exercise that first conceives, and then illustrates, ways that purpose-driven business schools can extend (deepen and broaden) their external engagement activity. Fr…
Strategic management as an enabler of co-creation in public services
The current transformations in society, the economy and the public sector call for the development of more unified theoretical frameworks. This article takes the literature on strategic management as a theoretical entry angle and aims to better understand how the adoption of models of strategic management can enable processes of public value co-creation. Utilising the literature centred on the notion of ‘schools of thought’ in the strategic manag…
The role of middle managers in the implementation of national public policy
Recent policy implementation studies have considered the processes by which the top down objectives of policy designers conflict with the bottom up responses of local actors within functional teams. Our paper extends that body of research by analysing the, hitherto underexplored, role of hybrid middle managers (HMMs) who combine their professional expertise with management responsibilities to locally forge compromises when implementing national p…
Value Co-Creation through Patient Engagement in Health Care
Patient engagement has gained increasing prominence within academic literatures and policy discourse. With limited developments in practice, most extant academic contributions are conceptual, with initiatives in the National Health Service (NHS) concentrating at macro- rather than at micro-level. This may be one reason why the issue of ‘value co-creation’ has received limited attention within academic discussions of patient engagement or policy p…

Special Issue – Call for Papers
Organisation Studies and the Analysis of Health Systems
Social Science & Medicine invites submissions that make connections with organisation studies in the analysis of health policy and management. This interdisciplinary Special Issue aims to promote greater theoretical and empirical integration in the analysis of health policy and management by linking social science and health research with the potential contribution of organisation studies. Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of Social Science…
Developing Personal Care Programs
This paper examines the development of programs delivering personal care to the elderly and disabled. First, we report the latest national participant and expenditure trend data for the three main personal care programs: the Medicaid Personal Care Services (PCS) benefit, Medicaid 1915(c) waivers, and the Older Americans Act Title III. Second, to examine interstate variation revealed in the trend analysis, we present three time-series regression m…
From the doctor's workshop to the iron cage? Evolving modes of physician control in US health systems
Smoke without Fire
This paper draws from a rich longitudinal California data set to analyze the scope and nature of nursing home closures between 1997 and 2001, and to present a Cox proportionate hazards model of the risks of closure that arise from a range of facility and market characteristics. When compared with the sample total of 1,482 facilities operating in the baseline year of 1997, only 56 facilities closed through 2001, involving the loss of 3.8% of facil…
Medicaid Community-Based Programs
As states face challenges posed by budget crises and pressures to develop Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS), this paper provides a longitudinal analysis of state variation in expenditures and utilization for three HCBS programs (waivers, home health and personal care), and for total Medicaid HCBS. The first part of the analysis describes the nature and scope of state variation for each program in 1999, using such measures as parti…
Quality of Care in Nursing Homes
BACKGROUND: Recent work has highlighted a negative correlation between proprietary status and nursing home quality of care. This relationship might be explained by the context in which proprietary homes operate. However, another possible explanation is that some proprietary homes take excessive profit to the detriment of care quality. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between profit levels and quality in proprietary and nonproprietary nursin…
Mobilizing the Logic of Managerialism in Professional Fields
This paper presents a qualitative inductive analysis of attempts to re-order the bases of legitimacy in fields of professional organizations. Concepts from institutional theory, political science and social movement theory are integrated to provide a model of the antecedents, processes and implications of this phenomenon. Findings from a study of US academic health centre mergers illustrate each element of the model. They show that as part of the…
Introduction To The Symposium on New Labour and The Modernization of Public Management
The `Bureaucratization' of Professional Roles
This article analyses the process by which some hospital doctors have adopted medical-manager hybrid roles by joining the new cadre of clinical directors. The article has two main aims. The first is to enhance understandings of professional role change by contributing empirical evidence to the debate concerning the alleged `de-professionalization' of expert roles. The second is to assess the ways in which institutional forces influence change and…
Un-charted Territory? Experiences of the Purchaser/Provider Split in Local Authority Children's Services
A primary goal of Conservative government policy, expressed in the 1990 National Health Service and Community Care Act, was to encourage the development of market mechanisms through the separation of purchaser and provider roles. The main target for reform was to be adult services although, in the absence of specific guidance, a number of local authorities also implemented purchaser/provider structures in services for children and families. To da…
Quasi‐market Transformation
Quasi‐market transformation (QMT) refers to the process by which the dominant organizational form in a field is replaced, following the introduction of a quasi‐market. In this article, analysis of comparative case‐study data reveals that, until the early 1990s, a common interpretive scheme, or set of values and norms, underpinned a set of structures and systems in many UK hospitals. These similarities of form are represented as the directly manag…
