Abstract
Abstract This study aims to put forward a public governance ontology, based on robust business literature and a structured public governance concept, to aid in improving understanding, communication, innovation, and measurements in public ventures. The ontology approach is combined with design science to develop a “public governance canvas model,” which conveys different descriptions of governance arrangements of given public ventures. The product of this research is a model that forms the ideal structure of new strategic management and information tools, as well as offers other benefits relating to measurement and evaluation. Finally, the canvas model is applied in three different institutional contexts of public management. Further development of this review could be accomplished by applying this model to organizations that generate important outcomes for both practitioners and academics.
Highlights
Business model patterns have emerged to meet the needs of professionals in the field of information technology (IT), so that these professionals may better understand the business and associated organizations, and develop more consistent and market-oriented IT solutions (CHESBROUGH and ROSENBLOOM, 2002)
This would be achieved in a context of increasing complexity in which business models require the coordination of many stakeholders through the integration of businesses, processes, information systems, distribution channels, and people
We present a semi-formal ontology for public governance models, conforming with the guidelines of Uschold, King, Moralee et al (1998) for providing an ontology:
Summary
Business model patterns (commonly referred to as templates or canvases) have emerged to meet the needs of professionals in the field of information technology (IT), so that these professionals may better understand the business and associated organizations, and develop more consistent and market-oriented IT solutions (CHESBROUGH and ROSENBLOOM, 2002). It could provide a tool for improved understanding, mapping, and sharing of the logic of value creation in organizations or networks of organizations (AMIT and ZOTT, 2001; OSTERWALDER, 2004) This would be achieved in a context of increasing complexity in which business models require the coordination of many stakeholders through the integration of businesses, processes, information systems, distribution channels, and people. We advance a “public governance canvas model” to describe governance arrangements of a given public venture (government, policy, program, project, process, etc., aimed at addressing public problems), drawing from the literature on business models, public governance, and design science Based on this foundation, other aims are pursued, such as the identification and modeling of indicators, improvement of decision making, strengthening of strategic planning, support in the design of IT solutions, improvement of communication with stakeholders, and, most importantly, increasing the innovation capacity of an organization’s staff and managers to growth achievements. The final section presents some closing thoughts on the manners discussed
