The Public and Non-Profit Management SIG aims at providing an authoritative international forum for debate on topical research issues related to public service organisations, including those pursuing public value in the public, nonprofit and private sectors across fields such as health and social care, education, culture, utilities and tourism. Key issues may involve digital transformation, performance evaluation and accountability, partnership working, public engagement, HRM, social innovation, project management and sustainability.
