Abstract
Announcement
The meeting will consist of a number of highly focused, intensive sessions combining papers using similar theoretical or empirical approaches, and a number of open sessions that will be used to discuss work in progress and innovative approaches. An invited keynote will introduce key issues, and a panel will discuss prospects for a new research agenda on the politics of performance.
We invite empirical, conceptual or theoretical papers studying the politics of public performance management and measurement from different theoretical and empirical perspectives. Relevant topics include, among others:
- Framing contests in the development of performance measurement and management systems
- Turf wars in the decision-making about and the operations of performance systems
- Negotiations between principals and agents or between equal partners about the indicators to be used to measure performance, progress, compliance etc. in contracts, networks, or policies.
- Evidence about the scope and real effects of coping strategies developed in reaction to indicators systems
- Bureau-political dynamics that performance management engenders in organizations
