公共组织研究中重新出现了一句古老的行政格言，该格言认为政府机构在行为和政策制定方面类似于公司。这篇企业论文的新转折是强调竞争性市场条件，以确定如何制定政策结果以有利于某些利益相关者而不是其他利益相关者。通过对 42 个城市交通机构的样本进行回归分析，研究发现市场状况对政策结果的偏差产生重大影响，但并不一定会导致对社会项目客户有害的权衡。其中一个含义是，将市场条件引入公共机构环境可能是比私有化更好的改革选择。
An old administrative adage has reemerged in public organizational studies that views government agencies as corporate-like in behavior and policy making. The new twist in this enterprise thesis is the emphasis placed on competitive market conditions in determining how policy outcomes are patterned to favor some stakeholders over others. Applying regression analysis to a sample of 42 urban transit agencies, the study finds market conditions pose significant influence on skewing policy outcomes but do not necessarily cause a trade-off harmful to social-program clients. One implication is that introducing market conditions into the environment of public agencies may be a superior reform option to privatization.
