Each year at the annual EGPA conference the Permanent Study Group on Strategic Management in Government has a series of sessions discussing research, theory and practice. Its members have been meeting on a yearly basis since 2009, when the Study Group was set up by EGPA.
Possible themes for your paper and details of what to include in your abstract are presented below. Abstracts that are not aligned to these themes will also be welcomed and considered for inclusion on the basis of their likely contribution to knowledge of strategic management in the public sector, theoretical insights, and practical relevance.
The Study Group’s conference sessions have eight main themes this year:
Theme 1: The theory and practice of organization-centred strategic management in the public sector.
Theme 2: Public value models of strategic management.
Theme 3: Transitions from long-term development planning (e.g., Five-Year Plans) to strategic planning.
Theme 4: Collaborations involving the public sector and the role of strategic planning and management in collaborative governance.
Theme 5: Core governance capabilities in strategic policy making.
Theme 6: Strategic governance.
Theme 7: Strategic leadership.
Theme 8: Cross-national studies in strategic management in the public sector.
