Management Analysis of New Business Models of the State with Particular Reference to Government Procurement

日本的公共部门似乎没有正确地响应当今的要求，以有效和廉价的方式为国家提供高质量的服务。相比之下，借鉴物有所值、私人融资计划（PFI）和公私合作伙伴关系（PPP）的理念，包括英国在内的一些西方国家似乎采用了一种新的国家创业模式，其中很大一部分公共部门负责酌情与私营部门竞争。因此，许多公共服务的质量和效率似乎一直在提高。此外，有证据表明，我们今天正在见证一种新的国家商业模式的诞生，从管制型模式演变为催化型模式。基于这些前提，为了寻找21世纪新的国家替代模式，我在本研究期间对几个发达国家和发展中国家进行了广泛的实地考察，特别关注政府采购。一个已被应用的理论框架借鉴了最新的网络理论，该理论侧重于不同的经济机构如何嵌入在当地的情况下，服务于不同的人和市场，可以通过从根本上重新布线他们的信息管道，跨组织边界合作，并获得大量的收益，否则不能累计。虽然本研究的理论和实践调查仍在进行中，但已产生了一些结果和见解，这些结果和见解刺激了新的政策制定，并表明进一步的研究贯穿公共政策和管理研究。然而，为了发挥研究潜力，必须进行更有针对性和更详细的研究，同时考虑到特定背景下现实世界问题的动态特性。

The Japanese public sector does not appear to be correctly responding to the present-day requirements for providing the nation with high-quality services efficiently and inexpensively. In contrast, drawing on the ideas of value for money, private finance initiatives (PFIs), and public private partnerships (PPPs), some Western countries including the United Kingdom appear to have adopted a new entrepreneurial model of the state, in which substantial parts of the public sector are held responsible for becoming competitive with the private sector as appropriate. Consequently, the quality and efficiency of many Public services appear to have been improving. Evidence suggests, moreover, that we are witnessing today the birth of a new business model of the state, evolving from a regulatory to catalytic one.With these premises in mind and in search of new alternative models of the state in the twenty-first century, I have conducted extensive fieldwork in several advanced and developing countries during the course of this research with specific interest in government procurement. A theoretical framework that has been applied draws on latest network theory that focuses on how different economic agencies embedded in local situations serving different people and markets can collaborate across organizational boundaries by radically rewiring their information conduits and do obtain substantial gains that cannot otherwise accrue. Although still in the making the theoretical and practical inquiries of this study have produced findings and insights that stimulate new policy making and indicate further research crosscutting public policy and management studies. To fulfill research potential, however, it is imperative that more focused and detailed research be undertaken, taking into account the dynamic properties of real-world problems in specific contexts.
