Disputation i företagsekonomi
Sara Davoudi försvarar sin doktorsavhandling i företagsekonomi, "What happened with the leviathan of the Public Sector? The challenges of vertical coordination in regional public organizations and its effect on public value"
Doktorsavhandling Davoudi 2021:3
Avhandlingen handlar om följande (ur baksidestexten):
“For long, private-sector managerial techniques of organizational resources have been applied to the public sector, with the assumption that the application of these techniques will improve the efficiency of public service. The use of these techniques has resulted in a “patchwork quilt” of various public and private actors acting on several territorial levels. Such structure has resulted in vertical specialization where tasks and responsibility are divided with narrow field of competencies creating a fragmented organization that is dependent on information processing and coordination.
This thesis elaborates on the coordination challenges brought by the devolution of functions and specialization in the vertical organization. It was found that despite the efforts to meet the recognized efficiency problems, public sector has created organizations that are dependent on information processing and coordination in order to function effectively, but with a structure and norms that struggles with such activities. The leviathan of the public sector is no longer constituted by a sovereign state but by the effect of the lack of communication between the various levels of a fragmented and complex public organization. Despite its normative flavor, this thesis elaborates on why it appears that the core solution of vertical coordination might be increased focus on interaction between individuals.”
