Research focus

Public Entrepreneurship

The Centre for Public Management (ZVM) focuses on the research focus area of Public Entrepreneurship. Public administrative bodies have a responsibility towards taxpayers to work in an efficient and effective manner. With public entrepreneurship, the ZVM has set itself the objective of promoting entrepreneurial actions in the area of public administration in order to achieve the desired level of efficiency and effectiveness. Public administration and entrepreneurial spirit do not have to be exclusive of one another. Administrative reforms and entrepreneurial actions can instead be mutually beneficial.

The ZVM conducts research into the fields of municipality mergers and management, Strategy, Organisation and Evaluation as well as Voluntary Activities.
