Dear colleagues Please consider submitting an abstract to present at the International Research Society for Public Management 2024 Conference, 16-18 April 2024 in Tampere, Finland. https://irspm.org/conferences/conference-2024 Our panel session on Digital transformation and hybrid future for public governance and management<https://www.irspm.org/list-of-panels-2024/conference-2024/conferences/p31-digital-transformation-and-hybrid-future-for-public-governance-and-management> is chaired by John Halligan, Amanda Clarke and myself. Abstracts have now closed, but if you would like to submit a late abstract, please email me at p.henman@uq.edu.au<mailto:p.henman@uq.edu.au> The field of public management is being increasingly impacted by dynamic contexts in which innovations in digital technology, such as automated decision making, are affecting service delivery, user interfaces, data management, public managers' roles in decision making, the parameters within which public management operates and public governance in general. The effects of digital transformation on public management remain unclear, although it is apparent that obstacles to implementing change are shared. A continuing conundrum is the extent to which much of the field needs to be reappraised in terms of new hybrid forms and the multiple ways in which they are being addressed through inter-organisational and system interactions and scenarios for digital futures that seek to lever hybridity in public management. The various hybrid interfaces in digital governance and management cover a range of complex public, private and societal interactions and provide scope for the use of a range of theoretical frameworks. Theories that seek to explain variable progress towards digital government internationally, include cultural and political traditions and institutional analysis. Methods may include case studies, survey analysis, portal/website evaluation, and service integration measurement.
