Does governing board involvement impact strategy implementation effectiveness? The role of information sharing in the politics-administration interface
基于96个佛兰德地方当局的数据,研究治理委员会的战略角色行为如何通过信息共享影响战略实施有效性,发现监督型角色行为与信息共享相结合能提升效果。
Many local authorities are governed by a dual governance structure involving a political governing board and a chief administrative officer (CAO). The question if both strategic actors should collaborate has been long debated. The politics-administration dichotomy perspective advocates independence, while the complementarity view eulogizes interdependence. But, what is the appropriate level of governing board involvement during strategy implementation? We use data of 96 Flemish local authorities’ CAOs to investigate if specific strategic board role behaviours (SBRBs) stimulate governing board-CAO information sharing and, subsequently, foster strategy implementation effectiveness. Results confirm the relevance of overseeing SBRB in combination with information sharing.
