The era of hybrid governance has arrived, with an increasing number of organizations occupying a position between public and private ownership. Value creation is no longer solely driven by business or public interests alone, but through distinct forms of hybrid governance. National governments are seeking to transform their administrative systems to prioritize business objectives, while private enterprises recognize the value in promoting public interest in their corporate social responsibility programs.

However, the challenge lies in conceptualizing, evaluating, and measuring the value and performance of hybrid governance and organizations. This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how hybrids produce value. It explores the drivers, obstacles, and complexities involved in value creation across various hybrid contexts, including state-owned enterprises, urban policy-making, universities, and non-profits from around the world. The authors address a range of value contents, such as financial, social, and public value, and introduce a novel way of understanding multiple forms of doing value in hybrid settings.

The book emphasizes the importance of mixing, compromising, and legitimizing as key mechanisms of value creation in hybrid organizations. It is designed for researchers and students in public management, public administration, business management, corporate social responsibility, and governance. It offers a theoretical, conceptual, and empirical understanding of value creation in hybrid organizations, as well as an invaluable overview of performance evaluation and measurement systems and practices in these entities.

In conclusion, the era of hybrid governance presents both opportunities and challenges. By understanding the mechanisms of value creation in hybrid contexts, we can develop more effective strategies for promoting public interest and creating sustainable value in our organizations. This book serves as a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners seeking to navigate the complexities of hybrid governance and achieve positive outcomes for society.
