A Literature Review of Covid-19 Research
After the outbreak of the pandemic, research on COVID-19 has increased substantially.This study provides a literature review of COVID-19 research in the field of public administration.Applying a Structural Topic Model (STM), this review analyzes 710 articles.The analysis identifies and maps the 27 most salient topics.We find that the popularity of most topics remains highly robust over time.We also find that the salience of the topics depends str…
AI in a Comparative Perspective
Misaligned expectations in public sector innovation
When GenAI writes public foresight reports
This study investigates the impact of authorship on the convincingness and willingness to read government foresight reports. Using a preregistered online-based experimental design with 307 participants, this research examines how perceived and actual authorship (human experts vs. generative AI) influence these factors. Our findings show a significant interaction between perceived and actual authorship. Reports perceived as written by AI but actua…

Institutional work in smart cities
This exploratory analysis investigates self-reported work practices that managers consider to be crucial for driving smart city transformation. We build upon the literature on institutional work and highlight different institutional work types. Using interviews, we show that smart city managers use a combination of institutional work that includes (a) creation (e.g., introducing new ideas, technologies, methods, and policies), (b) maintenance (wh…
Same same but different
The digital transformation (DT) is not only forcing companies to rethink their business models but is also challenging governments to address the question of how information technology will change society today and in the future. By setting the legal boundaries and acting as an investor and promoter of the domestic digital economy, governments actively influence in which ways this transformational process takes place. The vision and objectives ho…
Barriers to public sector innovation in Switzerland
Innovation processes are crucial to modernizing business processes, products, and institutional arrangements in the public sector. However, many attempts at innovation in this area fail. Previous research has identified various barriers, yet little is known regarding which might manifest during the various phases of the innovation process. In this study, we analyse the barriers to public sector innovation from a process perspective, using the pol…
Government-university collaboration on smart city and smart government projects
Despite the widespread practice of cooperation between governments and universities on smart city and smart government projects, the factors influencing this cooperation are not well known. We explore government-university collaboration to illuminate four potential determinants of success in such projects: output, institutional, relationship, and framework factors. Using mixed methods, including a theoretically informed crisp-set qualitative comp…
The role of trust in the adoption of cooperative arrangement types in e-credentials markets
The interest in digital identities has increased considerably in academia and practice in recent years. This can be seen by the many electronic identity projects worldwide and the numerous published studies that provide insightful narratives and descriptive case findings about success factors and barriers to the adoption of national authentication infrastructures. In this paper, we take a closer look to the role of trust on the design and impleme…
Strategically constructed narratives on artificial intelligence
What stories are told in national artificial intelligence (AI) policies? Combining the novel technique of structural topic modeling (STM) and qualitative narrative analysis, this paper examines the policy narratives in 33 countries’ AI policies. We uncover six common narratives that are dominating the political agenda concerning AI. Our findings show that the policy narratives' saliences vary across time and countries. We make several contributio…
The role of dynamic managerial capabilities and organizational readiness in smart city transformation
This study focuses on the dynamic managerial capabilities of smart city managers and the organizational readiness of a city administration required to drive smart city transformation. After reviewing the literature, we conducted semi-structured interviews with smart city managers in 40 smart cities. We identified five dynamic capabilities that effectively contribute to smart city transformation: seizing, sensing, innovation, integrative, and empo…
Technological frames in public administration
Being among the largest creators and gatherers of data in many countries, public administrations are looking for ways to harness big data technology. However, the de facto uses of big data in the public sector remain very limited. Despite numerous studies aiming to clarify the term big data, for many public managers, it remains unclear what this technology does and does not offer public administration. Using the concept of technological frames, w…
How smart can government be? Exploring barriers to the adoption of smart government
Smart information and communication technologies (ICTs) are finding their ways into public administration, and numerous smart government efforts are marking the start of a new digitalization wave in the public sector. Despite being in the early stages of development, these initiatives promise a new model for the provision of public services: smart government. Because past technical innovations in the public sector did not reach their full potenti…
Generic frames and tonality
This study explores the feasibility and usefulness of five generic frames (conflict, responsibility, economic consequences, human interest and morality) in analysing framing practices in a multifaceted journalistic field over time. We show that supplementing generic frames through the tonality expressed in news stories enhances analytical quality. Mapping Swiss media outlets by how they frame a highly polarizing policy, we identify different fram…
