Paradoxes and prospects of ‘public value’

Abstract

This article explains where we are with public value, how we got here and where we should go with it. It suggests a re-conceptualization that incorporates selfinterest, public interest and procedural interest as the fundamental bases of public value creation. It goes on to suggest ways in which this could be operationalized using a ‘scorecard’ approach.
