PurposeIn recent years, there is a steady increase of studies documenting the emergence of “contracting back-in” in many countries around the world, that is, governments bringing previously contracted services back in-house and once again relying on public employees to deliver these services. Through a survey of the academic discourse on contracting back-in, this manuscript describes the phenomenon of contracting back-in and discusses its implications for “bringing the state back in”.Design/methodology/approachThe manuscript conducts a systematic review of existing literature on contracting back-in with a focus on the scope and rationale of contracting back-in.FindingsThe existing literature demonstrates that contracting back-in is often as common as contracting out and can be found in a variety of countries and across different service areas. Existing studies also suggest that contracting back-in is driven by a mix of managerial, political, and environmental factors. The rise of contracting back-in could imply a revival of the administrative state in public governance and a more dynamic, potentially more complicated, system of public service delivery.Originality/valueThe manuscript contributes to the special issue on “bringing the state back in” through the lens of government contracting. It adds a number of implications to the discussion on the emergence of the “new” administrative state and strategies to reinvent it.

“…The second half of the 20th century spawned a number of papers on public entrepreneurship [39][40][41], and ever since, the interest on this topic has not waned [42][43][44][45], with the interest in healthcare entrepreneurship specifically also being maintained [7,[46][47][48][49][50].…”

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether public health entrepreneurship principles implementation in the public health sector are alternative ways of promoting an immediate improvement of healthcare infrastructure. To contribute to the literature on the impact of public health entrepreneurship on public healthcare infrastructure, we estimate two empirical models, with the first model having institutions and the second model having public healthcare policies as the dependent variable. Our empirical analysis is based on the WHO international health regulation data for all WHO member countries (in order to achieve a balanced panel, we decided to retain 192 of them), covering the period from 2010 through to 2019. The main results obtained using a Poisson panel regression indicate a positive relationship between employing more entrepreneurship within public healthcare and the quality of public healthcare infrastructure represented through institutions and policies. This study produces several contributions to the stream of research on public health entrepreneurship. First, it makes a theoretical contribution in the way that it fills the lacking literature on the relationship between entrepreneurship within the public health sector and efficiency of country-specific public healthcare infrastructure. Second, it offers an empirical quantitative analysis of entrepreneurship that is generally lacking. Concerning policy implications, the third contribution of this paper is the provision of evidence showing alternative ways to improve healthcare infrastructure other than traditionally observed investments in physical infrastructure.

“…It is expected that PE adoption by public agencies will lead to the maximization of public outputs with fewer resources or inputs (e.g. Ali et al, 2019;Cunningham et al, 2016;Dhliwayo, 2017;Klein et al, 2013;Kouakou, 2018;Lee et al, 2012;Lindholst, 2019;Najmaei & Sadeghinejad, 2016;Xu & Carey, 2015). However, despite the expected efficiency improvements of PE adoption, some countries have been reluctant to embrace PE in their public agencies (Carnes et al, 2019;Liddle, 2016b;Najmaei & Sadeghinejad, 2016).…”

The aim of the article is to review some basic issues surrounding public entrepreneurship (PE), as it is perceived as a measure to improve the performance of public organizations. Research Design & Methods: This article uses Systematic Assessment Quantitative Technique (SQAT) advanced by Australian researchers (Catherine Pickering and Jason Antony Byrne). It allows the reproduction of verifiable reviews, through geographical, theoretical, and methodological gaps identification in literature. 61 peer-reviewed PE articles from six quality academic databases were systematically reviewed based on the following headings: time and geographical distributions, article type (conceptual or empirical), theories, themes, and methods of data collection. Findings: The analysis shows that large numbers of PE articles were published in 2016, with more publications in North America and Europe, while Africa has meagre publications. Most of PE articles are conceptually inclined and this suggests more empirical studies be conducted so as to have scientific knowledge of PE adoption. Besides, the study revealed that PE is mostly adopted by federal and state governments across the globe with little or no adoption at the local government level. Significant numbers of PE articles utilized one research method (the survey was dominantly used), future researchers can explore PE studies by merging more research methods to broaden the scope of PE. Implications & Recommendations: This study provides a clear picture of what is been investigated and has provided guides for future researchers to widen the knowledge adoption of PE around the globe for better service provision by public stakeholders Contribution & Value Added: The study systematically reviewed 61 peer-reviewed PE articles from six quality academic databases (Emerald, Elsevier, Sage, Springer, Taylor & Francis, and Wiley), thereby facilitating the understanding of PE and providing guides for future researchers of PE around the globe.
