Projectification in Swedish local government
Ideas
Porous public organizations. Argued from three processes in Swedish municipalities that projectification changes organizations and how employees understand their ordinary work, and that public organizations are porous, at once temporary and permanent. Caveat: An interpretive study of three processes in Swedish local government, with no measure of outcomes.
Projectification reuses bureaucracy. Argued that projectification in local government seldom breaks with bureaucratic management and instead revives practices such as reporting, documentation, and standardization. Caveat: An interpretive study of local government, read in its abstract only.
