The Public and Non-Profit Management SIG aims at providing an authoritative and internationally focused forum to discuss major developments in the area of governance and management of public interest. Such focus allows embracing all organisations that operate for the benefit of the community, be they public or private. Key issues include network management, performance management, organisation and HRM, social innovation, social responsibility, accounting and accountability, marketing and fundraising, leadership. We especially welcome topic proposals focusing on collaborative governance (networks and co- production), social innovation, management of hybrid organisations and the creation of public value at the intersection between public and private domains. We encourage envisioning topics and symposia proposals that could be managed in partnership with another SIG.

ST11_03 – Management and governance of culture, heritage and tourism
Managing culture, heritage and tourism is a particularly complex task, cutting across institutional levels, management styles, and organizational cultures, especially with the recent technological and overall societal transformations. Adding further to this complexity, the Covid-19 pandemic has severely challenged the tourism as well as the artistic and cultural sectors. This Standing Track aims to investigate how management scholars can learn from this setting, and to contribute to a thriving artistic, cultural and tourism management in our cities, regions and nations.

PUBLIC MANAGEMENT & NON-PROFIT MANAGEMENT SIG TRACKS
T11_04 – Digital Transformation in the Public Sector
In recent years, the role of digital transformation in public sector has caught strong attention by scholars in the public management field. Still, the managerial challenges faced to manage the complex dynamics that shape the entanglements between digital technologies and public services production and provision are yet to be fully explained. Literature is fragmented, and the theoretical grounds for the study of these dynamics are far from being commonly accepted and established. This track aims at providing an open, inclusive and rigorous forum to advance knowledge on the dynamics, drivers and barriers behind public digital
transformation.
