Kaijankoski, Eric A. "Cybersecurity information sharing between public–private sector agencies." Thesis, Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10945/45204.
Full textGovernment agencies, businesses, and individuals alike have become more dependent on technology, and the desire and need for interconnectedness has led to increasing network vulnerability affecting both government and private sectors. Recognizing both government and private sector agencies individually lack the capabilities to defend against cyber threats, President Obama has called for a more robust and resilient cybersecurity alliance that encourages information-sharing partnerships with private sector owners and operators in charge of protecting U.S. critical infrastructure. Despite the recent drive for cyber legislation and policies, government agencies and private companies have seemed reluctant to share information related to cyber-attacks and threats with one another. To discover the deeper underlying issues that inhibit public-private cooperation, and to evaluate the effectiveness of public-private partnerships (PPPs) to advance cyber information sharing, this thesis examines the banking and finance sector of U.S. critical infrastructure sector. In doing so, it identifies reasons why information-sharing problems exist between government agencies and private companies; investigates how PPPs satisfy national cybersecurity needs; and, in turn, reveals issues for policymakers to consider when shaping policies that encourage an open dialog between the public and private sector.

Full textEthical conduct displayed by members of the public sector is integral to creating a sustainable democratic government, which upholds the constitutional tenets of accountability, transparency and professional ethicality. Furthermore, a true constitutional democracy emphasises and advocates the notion of service leadership that nurtures public participation and engages with citizens in a positive manner. Ethical conduct in the public sector earns public trust; it is hence a key principle in good governance. Yet, in the years since the advent of democracy in South Africa, the government has been plagued by rampant corruption and maladministration by public officials and politicians in leadership positions. The external control measures passed by government in an attempt to ensure ethicality and accountability within the public sector include codes of ethics, rules of conduct and the enactment of legislation. These are intended to shape the mindset of members of the public sector, with the ultimate aim of an efficient, effective, ethical and responsive public service. The purpose of the current study is to analyse non-compliance with external control measures within the public sector by means of selected case studies and to present the reasons for this occurrence. The three cases selected are: the South African Arms Deal, the corruption trial of Jackie Selebi, and the investigation of Bheki Cele regarding irregularities in the procurement of SAPS assets, the latter two who served as National Commissioners of the South African Police Service but were each dismissed from that post. The reasons for non-compliance with external control measures in the public sector as well as recommendations based on the findings to improve compliance will be undertaken. The three case studies demonstrate the experience and impact of corruption and/or maladministration, which have contributed to the increasing loss of confidence in political leadership in the country as elsewhere in the world. A qualitative methodology of inquiry, including a review of literature covering the theories applied to the case studies will be employed. Owing to the subject nature of the current study, the findings will be validated by an independent source, which has been identified as the Office of the Public Protector.
Jansen, Lucien. "Public sector reform within the South African perishable export industry." Thesis, Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/1693.
Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Public sector reform has been around since the 1980s and was a result of criticism against traditional public administration for being too slow and inefficient to address public needs. Although Public sector reform is common in developed countries, evidence of public sector reform has rarely been seen in developing countries. The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether there is any evidence of public sector reform in a developing country such as South Africa. The author divides public sector reform into three categories, namely: new governance, regulatory governance and new public management (NPM). Based on the theoretical information analysed, a list of qualifying criteria for public sector reform is compiled. The author then focuses on the Perishable Products Export Control Board (PPECB), a statutory organisation acting as a service provider for the perishable products export industry and a regulator on behalf of the South African government. The author analyses the model on which South African perishable exports are based and studies the organisation‟s history, strategies, operational structure and its relationship with government. The information gathered is then compared to the list of qualifying criteria compiled for public sector reform. It was found that the model, and specifically service delivery strategies by the PPECB, provides conclusive evidence of new governance, regulatory governance and NPM. It was also found the model is a hybrid between traditional public administration and public sector reform, as it contains characteristics of both. The study takes the form of a literature review. Research was conducted through studying various literatures pertaining to new governance, regulatory governance and new public management. In addition, the author gathered relevant information from within the PPECB, the South African Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) and the export industry. Further information was also collected by means of unstructured interviews with senior individuals employed by the PPECB.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Openbare hervorming bestaan sedert die jare tagtig en het basies ontstaan as gevolg van kritiek omdat tradisionele openbare administrasie te traag en onbevoeg was om openbare behoeftes aan te spreek. Hoewel openbare hervorming in ontwikkelde lande stewig gevestig is, is daar ook bewys daarvan in ontwikkelende lande. Die doel van hierdie ondersoek was om vas te stel of daar enige bewys van openbare hervorming in ‟n ontwikkelende land soos Suid-Afrika bestaan. Die outeur het openbare hervorming in drie kategorieë verdeel, te wete nuwe regeringsbestuur, regulatoriese regeringsbestuur en nuwe openbare bestuur. Op grond van ‟n analise van die teoretiese inligting, is ‟n lys van kwalifiserende kriteria – gerig op openbare hervorming – saamgestel. Die outeur het vervolgens op die Bederfbare Produkte Uitvoerbeheerraad (PPECB) gefokus – dit is ‟n statutêre liggaam wat as diensverskaffer vir die bederfbare produkte uitvoernywerheid en as ‟n reguleerder namens die Suid-Afrikaanse regering optree. Die outeur het ‟n analise gedoen van die model waarop Suid-Afrikaanse bederfbare uitvoere gebaseer is en voorts die organisasie se geskiedenis, strategie, operasionele struktuur en sy verhouding met die regering bestudeer. Die inligting wat ingewin is, is vervolgens met die lys van kwalifiserende kriteria – gerig op openbare hervorming – vergelyk. Daar is bevind dat die model – en spesifiek diensleweringstrategie by die PPECB – voldoende bewys lewer van nuwe regeringsbestuur, regulatoriese regeringsbestuur en nuwe openbare bestuur. Daar is ook bevind dat die model ‟n hibridisering is tussen tradisionele openbare administrasie en openbare hervorming aangesien dit karaktereienskappe van albei bevat. Die studie is in die vorm van ‟n literêre oorsig gedoen. Navorsing is uitgevoer deur die bestudering van verskeie geskrifte oor nuwe regeringsbestuur, regulatoriese regeringsbestuur en nuwe openbare bestuur. Daarbenewens het die outeur relevante inligting binne die PPECB, die Suid-Afrikaanse Departement van Landbou, Bosbou en Visserye en die uitvoernywerheid, ingesamel. Nog inligting is ook bekom deur ongestruktureerde onderhoude met senior werknemers van die PPECB te voer.

Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 1987. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/16391.
Full textThis thesis explores the debate for public sector and private sector agency for the provision of local authority services. A methodological approach was devised to examine each potential case for privatisation and to evaluate both the public and private sector agencies in terms of the three identified criteria viz. economic and financial, strategic and political, and administrative and managerial. The field study included an investigation, aided by a literature survey and the collection of further relevant data pertaining to selected local authority services. Data and evidence were collected primarily through personal structured interviews with senior executives in both the public and private sectors. The methodological approach was applied to case studies of the solid waste ( collection and disposal) and construction (civil engineering and building) services of the Cape Town City Council.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The practice of public-sector strategic planning has gained dominance in public sector management in imitation of the concept of strategy in military science and later of the practice of strategic planning in the private sector. Its institutionalisation in the public sector should be welcomed as a positive development. The policy and regulatory framework instils a culture of cooperative governance through the promotion of effective intra- and inter-governmental relations that assume a developmental approach to planning. It is this culture that sets parameters within which the practice of strategic planning should be managed in the public sector. Strategy alignment is critical in achieving cooperative governance in strategic planning, as is shown in this study. The study sought to establish the extent to which the existing strategic planning guidelines could be manipulated to achieve alignment between the provincial and local spheres of government. A qualitative study was performed. It relied on both a non-empirical literature review and an empirical investigation to generate its data. Interviews were conducted with representatives of a sample of four Provincial Departments and seven different Municipalities drawn from the three categories of Local Government, namely metropolitan, local and district Municipalities. The Eastern Cape Provincial Government structure with its composite Municipalities constituted the case selected for this study. The study revealed that strategic planning in the province assumes different formats ranging from basic and medium-term to comprehensive and long-term, as well as sector- and project-specific strategic planning processes. The public sector strategic processes are politically influenced, taking their tone from political directives, but driven mainly by administrators. Whereas the active participation of politicians in shaping integrated development plans (IDPs) as the principal strategic plans for Municipalities is acknowledged, the concern that politicians at a provincial level are playing a limited role in shaping Provincial Departments’ strategic plans remains relevant. It is vital that the political governance centre in the province; namely the premier’s office, should take charge of coordinating strategic planning and should be responsible for the alignment efforts of the government structures in the province. Strategic planning plays a significant role in defining the organisational growth path of every public-sector organisation, as well as the management of public resources, financial and non-financial. This study advocates for learning as a central organisational value and recommends that the existing strategic-planning guidelines be improved to embody a cooperative governance approach.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die toonaangewende posisie wat strategiese beplanningspraktyk in die openbare sektor, binne die kader van bestuur in die openbare sektor, verwerf het, het beslag gekry weens die nabootsing van strategiese beplanningskonsepte eie aan die militêre wetenskapsmilieu. Dit is later versterk deur navolging van strategiese beplanningsmodelle uit die privaatsektor. Die institusionalisering van strategiese beplanning in die openbare sektor moet as ’n positiewe ontwikkeling verwelkom word. Beleidstelling en ’n reguleringsraamwerk vestig ’n sterk korporatiewe verantwoordelikheidsin. Dit word bewerkstellig deur die bevordering van effektiewe intra- en interregeringsvehoudinge, wat ’n ontwikkelingsbenadering tot beplanning veronderstel. Hierdie kultuur omskryf die raamwerk vir die toepassing van strategiese beplanning in die openbare sektor. Soos hierdie ondersoek aandui, is ’n voorvereiste vir deelnemende bestuur, wanneer daar strategies beplan word, koördinering van strategie. Die ondersoek het ten doel gehad om te bepaal tot watter mate bestaande strategiese beplanningsriglyne aangepas kon word om gerigdheid tussen provinsiale en plaaslike regeringsfere te bewerkstellig. ’n Kwalitatiewe ondersoek is gedoen, gebaseer op navorsingsdata verkry uit sowel ’n nie-empiriese literatuurstudie as ’n empiriese ondersoek. Onderhoude is gevoer met verteenwoordigers van ’n monster werknemers, saamgestel vanuit vier provinsiale departemente en sewe verskillende munisipaliteite. Die volle spektrum van plaaslike regeringsinstellings is gedek, naamlik metropolitaanse, plaaslike en distriksmunisipaliteite. Die provinsiale regeringstruktuur van die Oos-Kaap en sy saamgestelde munisipaliteitstrukture vorm die basis vir hierdie gevallestudie. Die ondersoek het aangedui dat strategiese beplanning in hierdie provinsie verskeie vorme aanneem; dit wissel in formaat van basies en mediumtermyn tot omvattend en langtermyn, asook sektorale en projekspesifieke strategiese beplanningsprosesse. Die strategiese proses van die openbare sektor word polities beïnvloed deur die politieke ondertoon teenwoordig in direktiewe, maar dit is hoofsaaklik administrateurs wat die agenda bepaal. Alhoewel die aktiewe betrokkenheid van politici in die daarstelling van geïntegreede ontwikkelingsplanne (GOP’s), die hoof strategiese planne vir munisipaliteite, erken word, is daar steeds rede tot kommer dat politici op provinsiale vlak slegs ’n beperkte rol vervul as dit kom by die skep van die provinsiale departemente se strategiese planne. Dit is van kritieke belang dat die kern van politieke bestuur, naamlik die kantoor van die premier, in beheer van die koördinering van strategiese beplanning moet wees en verantwoordelikheid sal aanvaar vir die koördineringspogings van regeringstrukture in die provinsie. Strategiese beplanning speel ’n betekenisvolle rol wanneer die organisatoriese ontwikkelingspad vir elke openbare sektor instelling uitgestippel word, asook by die bestuur van openbare bronne; sowel finansieel as nie-finansieel. Hierdie ondersoek maak voorspraak vir die beklemtoning van kennisontwikkeling as ’n sentrale organisatoriese noodsaak en beveel aan dat bestaande strategiese beplanningsriglyne sodanig aangepas word dat dit ’n koöperatiewe bestuursplan vir beter deelnemende bestuur beliggaam.

Full textThis thesis deals with the accounting of public debt from three distinct and complementary analytical perspectives. First, we study the accounting standards for retirement obligations. We develop a theoretical evaluation grid using a comparative and diachronic analysis based on the review of existing practices. Our analysis highlights that the existing pension schemes in Europe are incompatible with the individual savings model as promoted by the IPSAS 25 norm. Second, we analyze the relationship between debt accounting and the political environment, and test the hypothesis of an underestimation of debt levels around elections. Results allow us to validate our hypothesis and indicate that developing countries are most affected by this underestimation. Third, we examine the impact of the solicitation status of a sovereign rating on the rating itself and on the public debt level assigned by rating agencies. Focusing on Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P, our findings indicate that agencies favor countries soliciting their rating comparing to those who do not solicit them

Full textInvånarnas förväntan för en produkt eller tjänst framtagen av myndigheter har ökat drastiskt. Detta kan bero på att startupföretag samt andra globala tekniska företag har lyckats erbjuda digitala tjänster av hög standard under de senaste årtionden. Det sätter i sin tur press på hur myndigheten behöver arbeta för att kunna bemöta invånarnas förväntningar och behov. Under åren har dessutom ett antal projekt inom myndigheterna blivit identifierade för att inte ha lyckats leverera det önskade värdet, hålla sig inom den satta budgeten och/eller leverera projektresultat inom den satta tidsramen. Därmed finns det ett behov av åtgärder för att motarbeta detta. Ett införande av Agil projekthantering tros kunna hjälpa till med att inte bara uppnå invånarnas förväntningar och behov utan även till förbättrat projektresultat. Myndigheterna har länge varit hierarkisk bestående av komplexa och stela strukturer, dessutom har de även under en lång tid arbetat Vattenfalls-baserat när det kommer till projekthantering. Därmed kan ett införande av det Agila konceptet medföra en del utmaningar. Denna rapport har därför riktats mot att undersöka till vilken utsträckning ett Agilt tillvägagångssätt kan implementeras inom myndigheten genom att identifiera utmaningarna som det Agila kan medföra. Ett antal olika litteraturer samt tidigare forskningar inom Vattenfall, även kallat traditionell i denna rapport, och Agil projekthantering har granskats för att tillhandahålla den teoretiska biten om de olika arbetsmetoderna. I och med att detta undersökningsområde kan ses som relativt komplext och brett så har en kvalitativ undersökningsmetod använts för att få en djupare förståelse av området. Förutsättningarna av detta ges av intervjuer från anställda från den undersökta myndigheten. För att göra en jämförelse i hur andra myndigheter har arbetat med Agilt införande har intervjuer även hållits med ytterligare en myndighet. Studien visar att tillämpning av Agil projekthantering inom den undersökta myndigheten kan medföra en del utmaningar. Totalt identifierades sju olika utmaningar som är sammanfattade på följande sätt: Anställda är för bekväma med den gamla arbetsmetoden; Anställda har svårigheter med den nya arbetsmiljön; Agil är inte en metod som är av “en storlek passar alla” principen; Stora projekt; Tung dokumentation; Redovisningspraxis som påverkas av den Agila planeringen; Avsaknad av kompetens eller att vissa kompetenser anses vara en bristvara. Denna studie visar att den undersökta myndigheten kan arbeta med Agila projekthanteringsmetoder till en större utsträckning än vad som redan görs idag, däremot finns en del utmaningar, och att enbart arbeta med den Agila metoden visar sig inte vara rekommenderat. För att veta om det Agila konceptet kan användas i större utsträckning även utanför projekthantering eller om resultatet även gäller för andra sektorer krävs vidare påbyggnad av studien.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the structural specificities of the public sector and how they impact incentives and performance. It uses the microeconomic tools of contract theory and econometric analysis. Among these characteristics, special attention is paid to monitoring, information management and budget constraints by applying a theoretical lens, that allows to provide new insights into the incentive systems in place in the public sector. The first chapter contributes to the debate on transparency in the public sector by considering one of its major features, i.e. a limited budget. This issue is studied as an information design problem and employ a principal-agent model with moral hazard to show that if the principal has to choose between total transparency and total opacity, then transparency is more likely to be optimal when tasks are least valuable and budgets are lowest. The second chapter aims at capturing a new theoretical explanation for the widespread intuition that more bureaucracy could lead to less effort and quality despite improved control. To that end, the idea of “the extra mile” is introduced in a classic principal-agent model with moral hazard. Bureaucratic management is characterized by the use of procedures, defined as the association of codification and verification. A procedure allows for more accurate verification of the agent’s action, but is socially inefficient. In the third chapter, using both theory and regression analysis, we propose a new explanation for price differences in the French water industry based on organizational arguments

Full textFor the past 20 years, public concessions promoted by the Brazilian government have been overseen by the Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU), Brazilian supreme audit institution. What are the effects of this oversight? Using data related to contracts audited from 1993 to 2014, we analyse if the TCU prevents innovation in concessions. The empirical results show that there is no significant correlation between innovations and red tape originated in TCU's audit procedures. On the other hand, we find a significant negative correlation between TCU's degree of interventionism and the emergence of innovations in public concessions.

Full textThe present thesis proposes a theoretical and empirical study of the determinants of the pricing of public services and their conditions of effectiveness. Taking into account environmental and social issues, the deployment of smart grids and the strong constraint on cost control have led to the implementation of new pricing and organizational practices in public services. This thesis proposes three essays devoted to the impact of these new practices in drinking water in France. First, we analyze the transition from an affine tariff to a progressive tariff on the behavior of consumers of drinking water, starting from a natural experiment conducted in Dunkerque. A first result indicates that demand has decreased with this new tariff, while creating distortions. A second result indicates that the consumer reaction to the price signal has been ambivalent. This work suggests to rethink the tariff design and the accompaniment of the consumers in their choices to limit the cognitive biases. In a second step, we analyze how the local political organization (in France, the level of the single municipality, the union of communes (Syndicats) or super-municipality (communauté de communes) and the management mode (public or private) can influence the performance of the public service. The impact of these organizational configurations on costs has never been studied simultaneously by the literature. We first propose a theoretical model to analyze them together. Then, from a panel of French water services, we observe empirically that these different organizational combinations have an impact on the price

Full textThe present research investigates the Third Sector social phenomenon of world changes, whose exponential growth as from the 70th decade brought up questionings about the functions and structure of the States, the adequacy of sovereignty of the Nations before the new global economic conformation, the re-dimensioning of the public areas and the time/space relation. Under an interdisciplinary focus we have tried to connect various definitions relating to distinct subject-matters of the Social Sciences about the Third Sector over the world and in Brazil, and verified its undissociable relation to transindividualism. Under this context, we have analyzed the influences of the Third Sector in the Science of Law and tied it to the new citizenship consciousness, the civic bond, the democratic participation in the decisions on the goals of the nation, the protagonism in the social networks, to conclude that all the power belong to the people, therefore the people, and only the people, is the legitimate owner of its own destiny. The Third Sector, as a transindividual legal phenomenon is a social source of the Law

Sob o espectro da interdisciplinaridade, buscamos concatenar conceitos vários pertinentes a objetos distintos das Ciências Sociais sobre o Terceiro Setor no mundo e no Brasil, e verificamos sua indissociável relação com o transindividualismo. Neste contexto, analisamos as influências do Terceiro Setor na Ciência do Direito e as entrelaçarmos à nova consciência cidadã, ao engajamento cívico, à participação democrática nas decisões sobre os rumos da nação, ao protagonismo nas redes sociais, para concluir que todo o poder emana do povo, sendo o povo, e só o povo, o senhor legítimo do seu destino. O Terceiro Setor, como fenômeno jurídico transindividual, é fonte social do Direito

Current developments in establishing a performance management system for the Taiwan government favors a system that effectively combines the performance management of the organization and the employees. Thus, the goals of the organization and the employees are vertically integrated, and the performance management and incentive mechanisms are horizontally integrated. Such a system is known as a strategic performance management system. The results of the system’s performance assessments can serve as a reference for making flexible allocations regarding the performance ranking and ratio among administrative, affiliated, and internal units. The goal of this performance assessment system is to implement strategy-oriented government performance management by integrating performance assessment and incentive mechanisms. The participants of this study were the personnel from the administrative and state-owned enterprises of the Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs. To understand the approaches of governments in other countries, we investigated the mechanisms of performance bonuses in government units of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Singapore. In addition, to compare Taiwan government units with private corporations in Taiwan, we examined the performance management systems of four acclaimed corporations, namely the Formosa Plastics Corporation, Cathay Life Insurance, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, and the China Steel Corporation, thereby summarizing the corporate experience. This study investigated the practical experiences of institutions promoting performance bonus evaluations, including practices adopted during group performance review, guidelines to establishing performance indicators, and use of group performance review results. Diverse research methods involving a literature review, case studies, in-depth interviews, and an in-depth survey were employed. Accordingly, relevant revisions and modifications are suggested and can be referenced during future implementations.
