“…Second, platforms may allow for scalable governance, especially the scaling up of public innovation and collaborative governance. Innovation platforms sponsored by the public sector may facilitate not only public and private innovation (Kilelu et al 2013) but also open innovation (Hilgers and Ihl 2010;Almirall et al 2014;Brunswicker and Johnson 2015;Tukiainen et al 2015;Ojasalo and Kauppinen 2016;Raunio et al 2016;Mergel 2018). Living labs and smart city platforms potentially magnify the impact of urban experimentation (Baccarne et al 2014;Gascó 2017;Kronsell and Mukhtar-Landgren 2018;Nesti 2018;von Wirth et al 2019) and collaborative platforms may encourage the scaling up of collaborative governance (Ansell and Gash 2017).…”

Although not as eye‐catching as their business counterparts, many public and private institutions are currently experimenting with using platforms as a strategy of governance. Governance platforms are now being constructed by a wide array of actors at different geographical scales and across a wide range of issue areas. Although often enabled by digital technology, governance platforms fundamentally embody a new organizing logic to achieve distributed participation and mobilization. While private platforms are transforming the way that companies create and market their products or services and shifting the fundamental logic of how value is produced and appropriated, can this powerful organizing logic be harnessed for public as well as private purposes? We investigate how governance platforms generate powerful effects and survey the extant literature on governance platforms. We conclude that governance platforms do demonstrate promise, although they face a number of challenges.

“…Open innovation platforms take several forms (Brunswicker and Johnson 2015;Ojasalo and Kauppinen 2016), including crowdsourcing platforms that induce open innovation by posing challenges whose solutions are submitted by crowds. A number of cities and regions now use crowdsourcing to mobilize civic innovation (Roth et al 2013).…”

“…Over the last decade, governments around the world have engaged in open data initiatives by releasing governmental data sets in socially important areas such as education, health care, and housing. Such data were previously hidden from the general public but are now freely accessible via the Internet (Brunswicker & Johnson, ; Peled, ). In the United States, for example, the Federal Government launched a public portal called data.gov, which provides unrestricted online access to thousands of governmental open data sets (White House, ).…”

“…Despite the rise of open data contests and their premises of creating higher aspirations among civic hackers, the documented outcomes have been mixed (Almirall et al, ; Brunswicker & Johnson, ; Brunswicker et al, ; Juell‐Skielse et al, ; Peled, ). They fail to produce apps that are useful and useable (Rodriguez et al, ; Zhang & Von Dran, ).…”

Transparency as design choice of open data contests

Open data contests have become popular virtual events that motivate civic hackers to design high performing software applications that are useful and useable for citizens. However, such contests stir up controversy among scholars and practitioners about the role of transparency, or more specifically, the unrestricted access and observability of the applications submitted throughout the contest. In one view, transparency may reduce performance because it causes excessive replication, whereas another view argues that transparency can encourage novel forms of reuse, namely recombination. This article proposes a new perspective towards transparency as a design choice in open data contest architectures. We introduce a 2-dimensional view towards transparency, defined as observability of information about each submitted (a) solution (how it works) and its (b) performance (how high it scores). We design a sociotechnical contest architecture that jointly affords both transparency dimensions, and evaluate it in the field during a 21-day contest involving 28 participants. The results suggest that the joint instantiation of both transparency dimensions increases performance by triggering different kinds of recombination. Findings advance literature on sociotechnical architectures for civic design. Furthermore, they guide practitioners in implementing open data contests and balancing the tension between individual versus collective benefits.

The purpose of the article is to characterize the conditions for the transformation of pub- lic administration in the digital age. The relevance of the research is connected with the actively spreading digital innovations, which increasingly cover the frontiers of public ad- ministration, forming a new framework for institutional changes. These changes need competent reflection and systematization. The theoretical part of the work is devoted to the discussion of the concepts of “open government”, “digital government”, “digital trans- formation”, which have become one of the key elements of public management discourse. The process of digitalization involves the free flow of information from public authorities to the public and third parties, such as civil society organizations and the media, as well as from the public and third parties to the authorities, and is at the heart of well-function- ing open governments that are successfully undergoing the path of digital transformation. Methodologically, the article is based on expert interviews with representatives of public authorities of St. Petersburg, aimed at forming an idea of the institutional framework for the transformation of public administration in the context of digitalization. The author of the article conducted a number of expert interviews with the deputy heads of the districts of St. Petersburg and the deputy chairmen of the committees. As a method of interview analysis, the content analysis of the interview was used using the software ATLAS.ti 9 (http://atlasti.com). The main procedures implemented in this program are coding and grouping by category. As a result of the study, 16 codes were identified, which were com- bined into 3 semantic categories: macro-institutional conditions, micro-institutional condi- tions, and technical conditions for successful transformation of public administration in the context of digitalization. Analyzing the interview data, the author comes to the conclusion that the success of the transformation of public administration in the era of digitalization is directly related to the efforts and resources allocated by public sector bodies to imple- ment the law or policy, both at the time of implementation and over time. In other words, the interweaving of macroinstitutional, microinstitutional, and technical conditions plays a critical role. At the same time, the competencies of civil servants at all levels of govern- ment are a unifying element, a generative factor in the implementation of both macro-in- stitutional, micro-institutional, and technical conditions for the transformation of public administration in the era of digitalization.
