Governance and Organizational Eclecticism in the Public Arena: Introductory Perspectives

Author

  • Ian Thynne

Abstract

The Symposium is introduced here in terms of its antecedents and the eclecticism of governance and organizations in the public arena. The all-embracing nature of governance is complemented by organizational diversity and hybridity in constellational formations and networks. Key capacities, recognizing the significance of organizational ownership, regulation and performance, are essential in creating structures, developing policies, taking action and fostering legitimacy in governance. An overview of these matters sets the scene for the analyses in subsequent articles. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013
