Municipal bureaucracies are often too slow to respond effectively to the changing needs that arise in an emergency situation such as a pandemic. As well, public managers resorting to the market can also be a problem: the risk of opportunistic behaviours increases in conditions of uncertainty and high specificity. As a result, the use of municipally-owned companies (MOCs) has increased along with their organizational legitimacy. However, as demonstrated by many scholars, the use of MOCs is not always the most efficient choice. This article, starting from some limited empirical evidence, aims to stimulate a critical reflection on the role of MOCs after the pandemic crisis which seems to have strengthened their organizational legitimacy.

Abstract
Municipal bureaucracies are often too slow to respond effectively to the changing needs that arise in an emergency situation such as a pandemic. As well, public managers resorting to the market can also be a problem: the risk of opportunistic behaviours increases in conditions of uncertainty and high specificity. As a result, the use of municipally-owned companies (MOCs) has increased along with their organizational legitimacy. However, as demonstrated by many scholars, the use of MOCs is not always the most efficient choice. This article, starting from some limited empirical evidence, aims to stimulate a critical reflection on the role of MOCs after the pandemic crisis which seems to have strengthened their organizational legitimacy.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
