Reflections on the market, networking and trust

Public Management Review, 2006, vol. 8, issue 4, 583-589

Abstract: The objective of this reflection is to provide an economic perspective of the why and how of the different forms of governance, management and production of certain public services. From the theoretical approach of why the supposition is made that the terms of co-governance, co-management and co-production are associated with the concepts of a division of labor, specialization, networking and collaboration among different players pursuing different goals. The theory of networks and the concept of trust are necessary to explain the how . For an organization taking part in the network, it means that its network partners and other organizations value the organization positively and think that it does things properly. The expected objective of this cooperation is a better adaptation to the preferences of different groups at any given moment.
