“…Complexity can thus refer to the institutional complexity of policy fields in which multiple actors are engaged in the "production" of public policies (Osborne, 2006) as well as to the complexity of specific organizations within the various fields (Rhodes, 1996).…”

Complexity, a key issue in accountability research, is almost coterminous with modern governance. Increased complexity is a key external contingency driving analyses of public administration. Scholars often conclude that "traditional" forms of centralized accountability and control are no longer feasible in the face of complexity, but at the same time, internal audit in government, as a form of centralized accountability and control, is expanding its scope. This apparent paradox is addressed by means of mixed research methods focusing on how internal auditors in government understand and cope with complexity. The article demonstrates that auditors do so by hybridizing values and through professional and relational anchoring of practices. The results suggest that public administration scholars should not write off centralized control in complex systems of governance. The article also suggests that new accountability issues arise, relating to professional autonomy and influence inside government.

“…Public administration theory covers networked governance (Hartley 2005) by focusing on new public management (Hood 1991), new public governance (Osborne 2006) and public value management (Stoker 2006). The focus here is on networks of public organizations, and sometimes even on constellations of public networks, that collaborate to provide services or to innovate in ways that are advantageous compared to markets or hierarchies.…”

Evolving ICT and governance in organizational networks - Conceptual and theoretical foundations

et al. 2015

Both private and public sector organizations tend to participate in networks in order to gain access to knowledge, skills and resources of other organizations and to create synergies to achieve highly demanding and complex goals they cannot attain individually. The governance of these networks has been recognized as being an important variable influencing organizational network performance. This Special Issue aims to contribute to the investigation and understanding of the relationships between ICT and governance of organizational networks. This introductory paper provides the conceptual and theoretical background. The relationship between network governance and technology is bi-directional; evolutions in ICT enable the development of new types of network collaborations and governance, whereas governance of collaboration networks is critical for the development of complex ICT infrastructures. We argue that network governance should be conceptualized as an evolving socio-technical process shaped by actors and aimed at tackling complex and dynamic contemporary challenges.

“…Osborne (2006) argues that these changes can be captured in three consecutive dominant modes of Public Administration and Management (see also chapter 2). First, a longer era of 'traditional' Public Administration (PA) during the period from the nineteenth century to the early 1980s; then a 'transitory' stage of the New Public Management (NPM) until the beginning of the 21 st century; and a new, ongoing mode of the New Public Governance (NPG).…”
