Is open strategy a good fit for Public‐Private hybrid organizations
This paper investigates whether the systematic application of open strategy can align goals in emerging public‐private hybrid organizations, which face the challenge of integrating different identities, forms, and rationales from both public and private stakeholders. We develop an evaluative framework, addressing three crucial issues for a public‐private hybrid's early development: What is the public‐private hybrid's purpose? Who are the strategi…
The Iterative Process of Legitimacy-Building in Hybrid Organizations
Hybrid organizations face the fundamental challenge of building legitimacy. To deal with this challenge in administrative theory and practice, we apply an analytical framework following an organizational logic of legitimacy building to an exemplary case of hybridity—the Swiss Institute for Translational and Entrepreneurial Medicine. Our framework application illustrates that pragmatic legitimacy (i.e., establishing instrumental value) must be bui…
Weberian Bureaucracy
The term Weberian bureaucracy refers to Max Weber’s (1864–1920) ideal type (or model) of rational bureaucracy, published in Economy and Society posthumously in 1921/22 by his wife Marianne Weber. His ideal type of bureaucracy consists of a number of organizational features of administrative order. At the ideal type’s core lies a hierarchically structured, professional, rule-bound, impersonal, meritocratic, and disciplined body of public servants …
Max Weber’s Bequest for European Public Administration
Max Weber is undoubtedly one of the most seminal writers of Public Administration and his bequest for contemporary research and theory is impressive. Given the widespread misinterpretation of Weberian bureaucracy in the twentieth century administrative, managerial, and organizational scholarship, this chapter recapitulates Weber’s ideal-typical account of bureaucracy in the context of his epistemological, historical, and sociological reflections.…
Questioning the Constitutional Order
By comparing the French and the U.S. controversies on the appropriate position of public administration within the constitutional order of the state after World War II, this article aims to contribute to the historical clarification of the politics–administration dichotomy as one of the key ideas of administrative research and theory. The article underscores that the same phenomenon—the rejection of the dichotomy—has led to different conclusions …
Regulation and the Management of Expectations—Rating Agencies Revisited
In the aftermath of the 2008 crisis, scholars have begun to revise their conceptions of how market participants interact. While the traditional “rationalist optic” posits market participants who are able to process decision‐relevant information and thereby transform uncertainty into quantifiable risks, the increasingly popular “sociological optic” stresses the role of uncertainty in expectation formation and social conventions for creating confid…
Johann Caspar Bluntschli's Organic Theory of State and Public Administration
The seminal work of Johann Caspar Bluntschli, a Swiss-born and German-trained scholar of public administration, should be known to a wider English-speaking readership. This article offers insights into Bluntschli's organic theory of the state, his concept of public administration, and his understanding of the politics-administration dichotomy. Considering Bluntschli's intellectual influence on classic American authors like Woodrow Wilson and Fran…
Examining Frank J. Goodnow’s Hegelian Heritage
This study examines the extent to which Goodnow’s ideas about public administration were informed by Hegelian political philosophy. Hegel’s reflections on the characteristics of the state and public administration came to Goodnow’s attention from such scholars as John Burgess, Francis Lieber, Lorenz von Stein, Johann C. Bluntschli, and Rudolph von Gneist. Hegelian philosophy helped Goodnow to deal with the intellectual challenges of the progressi…
How Traditional Are the American, French and German Traditions of Public Administration? A Research Agenda
Consistent with the notion of tradition, public administration scholars usually interpret and compare administrative developments in the US, France, and Germany as inheritance, assuming continuity. However, administrative traditions have thus far not been an object of systematic research. The present research agenda aims to address this research gap by introducing the transfer‐of‐ideas approach as a means to examine the empirical substance of nat…
Woodrow Wilson’s Administrative Thought and German Political Theory
To what extent were Woodrow Wilson's ideas about public administration informed by German organic political theory? Drawing on the writings of Wilson, Lorenz von Stein, and Johann K. Bluntschli on public administration, and comparing American and German primary sources, the author offers insights into Wilson's general concept of public administration, as well as his understanding of the politics–administration dichotomy. With regard to current ad…
Weber, Wilson, and Hegel
Convergence between Woodrow Wilson's and Max Weber's thought, as well as their differences with regard to the politics–administration dichotomy, can be ascribed to the Hegelian tradition of public administrative theory. On the one hand, Wilson was strongly influenced by Georg W. F. Hegel. On the other hand, there is an empirical connection between Hegel and Weber. Both shared a consciousness of the German bureaucratic tradition based on Hegel's P…
