?:abstract
  • Although today's public administrations need to deal effectively with a variety of wicked problems and pressure on their performance is high, understanding the underlying features of how public administrations respond, and how organizational adaptation and management occur, has so far received little attention in academic research. To attempt to address this shortcoming, our own research over the past few years has focused on the capacity and ability of public administrations to generate, select and use knowledge; to coordinate actors, processes, and resources; and to define appropriate strategies for a variety of organizational challenges in order to deal with such problems and maintain legitimacy. While these three key responses - knowledge, strategy and coordination - have sharpened our analysis, this article highlights the need to focus more strongly on the growing significance of information and knowledge for processes of coordination and strategizing. Given the increasing importance of ‘evidenced-based’ decision making in public organizations, the ubiquitous availability of data and information, the rapid pace of digitalization, and strong societal demand to provide and secure information about administrative action, this article suggests that we need to take a much closer look at the capacities and capabilities of administrations to successfully acquire, process and supply knowledge.
