Governance and Public Management, an Introduction.

In this symposium, each paper addresses different strata in the governance framework, yet each explicitly links its findings to the larger issue of governance. Moreover, each of these papers incites curiosity as to how its findings relate to the larger literature on the specific governance concepts it considers. Specifically, it is shown that administrative structures affect resources and productivity in higher education. The papers illustrate how theory-based empirical research on the public governance and management that consistently references a broader framework can contribute to the accumulation of knowledge about public governance, management and the performances.
