Annual Conference of the International Research
Society for Public Management (IRSPM)
The 20th IRSPM Annual Conference at the City
University of Hong Kong and the Polytechnic University of Hong Kong in the Hong
Kong SAR of China on April 13 (Wednesday) - 15 (Friday), 2016
The content of public management has always
been evolving, and even more so in the last two decades. We have witnessed the
drastic expansion of the public management realm in terms of academics and
policies and practices. For example, through contracting-out and co-production,
public organizations have extended their collaborative governance by involving
more third parties across sectoral boundaries (i.e., citizens private and
non-profit). Furthermore, more city and local governments have built globalized
partnerships with counterparts in different countries. These complicated
changes have brought up many difficult but meaningful questions to public
management scholars, and simultaneously driven scholars to carry out more
interdisciplinary research with those in adjacent fields (e.g., political
science, management, psychology, and sociology). Practical challenges have
stimulated scholarly debate and presented a great opportunity for the
discipline to transform and move forward. The IRSPM 2016 therefore aims to
explore these broad topics to address these changes, under the title
¡°Collaborative, Globalized and Interdisciplinary: Moving the Public Management
Debate Forward.¡±
