Enabling Collaborative Governance through Systems Modeling Methods: Public Policy Design and Implementation

by Carmine Bianchi (Editor), Luis F. Luna-Reyes (Editor), Eliot Rich (Editor)

Overview

This volume constitutes a first approximation for the use of systems approaches and dynamic performance management as tools for collaborative governance. The chapters examine models and simulations used in some specific systems approaches, which contribute to facilitating problem focus and collective understanding of collaborative governance, especially in the area of performance management. The explicit connection between resources and outcomes promoted by this view helps managers to understand better how to improve policy and to create positive outcomes that create public value.
