Collaboration through Idea-driven public partnerships - IOP : A study on how collaboration works between Malmö stad and Yalla trappan through the collaboration form Idea-driven public partnerships - IOP (English)
Abstract [en]

Drawing from the notion of governance through collaboration, this study aims to understand how the term partnership is used in the academic literature and whether the concerned partners are aware of its characteristics. Furthermore, the study intends to compare the opportunities with the difficulties of this specific collaboration in order to examine its success rate.

Considerable discussions on the topic of IOP as a way of collaboration, has influenced politics in Sweden in recent years. The emphasis has been on how the public sector can best utilize the expert knowledge of the idea-driven organizations. This makes it relevant to discuss how these idea-driven organizations can be developed and how they can establish their existence in the public sector.

To study how these can be developed, Mörth & Sahlin's and Guy Peter's distinctions of what characterizes partnership has been applied. This is to know whether or not this partnership has a theoretical foundation, which the results of the conducted interviews confirmed that it had. Another factor that can help the development of idea-driven organizations is to know what opportunities and difficulties they may face. Conclusions showed that the major difficulties that could risk this collaboration were: differences in purposes, time limitations and the balance between authority to act independently and the account for responsibility. The first two had been successfully eliminated through the design of the IOP model and only the last one remained a risk. However, despite this remaining difficulty, there are several possibilities that could argue for the success of the partnership. These opportunities were: The positive influence of the outside world, the legitimacy gained through the approval from principal levels and the trust between the concerned parties.

Through the conducted interviews, it can be concluded that the collaborators are well acquainted with the implications of partnership as they are depicted in the academic literature. Furthermore, by comparing the difficulties and opportunities of this collaboration, we can detect that many of the potential difficulties have been eliminated through the design of the collaboration model IOP. In addition, the presented opportunities constitute a substantial basis for success.
