今天为大家带来的是George Boyne的研究：《规划、绩效和公共服务》。
摘要
英国工党政府的政策重新强调了公共部门中的理性规划。政府假设这种决策方法将提高绩效。尽管在公共行政的文献中，关于理性规划的理论成本和收益已有广泛讨论，但尚未对规划对公共组织绩效的影响进行系统性的实证研究。相比之下，理性规划与私营企业成功之间的关系已经得到了广泛研究。本项关于此类证据的元分析和批判性回顾表明，规划通常与更优异的绩效相关。然而，仍有一些重要问题尚未解决。例如，在什么情况下规划效果最好？规划的哪些要素最为重要？因此，虽然鼓励公共机构认真考虑规划的潜在收益可能是适当的，但不应将理性流程强加于它们。
The policies of the Labour government in the UK place renewed emphasis on rational planning in the public sector. The government’s assumption is that this approach to decision making will lead to improvements in performance. Although the theoretical costs and benefits of rational planning have been widely debated in the public administration literature, no systematic empirical research on the impact of planning on the performance of public organizations has been conducted. By contrast, the relationship between rational planning and the success of private firms has been investigated extensively. A meta-analysis and critical review of this evidence suggests that planning is generally associated with superior performance. However, important questions remain unresolved. For example, under what circumstances does planning work best, and which elements of planning are most important? Therefore, although it may be appropriate to encourage public agencies to consider carefully the potential benefits of planning, rational processes should not be imposed upon them.
