“…For example, Mason and Araujo (2020) illustrate how the performative struggles of a policy model produced multiple reformulations in the English National Health System. These reconceptualizations were distributed across a multitude of actors at different scales and relied on the 'cobbling together' of various elements of theories through a process of trial and error.…”

“…Scholars interested in performativity have demonstrated that enactments of conceptual ideas can contribute to shaping organizational orders (e.g. Beunza & Ferraro, 2019; D’Adderio & Pollock, 2014; Mason & Araujo, 2020). While performativity studies often assume an inherent precision in the concepts or theories that perform, some scholars have pointed out that even the purest theoretical forms require careful ‘market work’ (Cochoy & Dubuisson-Quellier, 2013) to become contextualized in practice (Cabantous, Gond, & Johnson-Cramer, 2010).…”

Prior work on performativity has illustrated how theories intervene in economic organizing. We expand this body of research by studying how concepts, and particularly those that are loosely defined and/or not widely understood, provoke their own realities through experiments. We examine how different experimental set-ups allow these concepts to be seized by a multitude of actors all wishing to instantiate worlds in their own interests, and how they potentially open up multiple competing realities as a result. We follow the concept of Mobility-as-a-Service as it mobilizes various experiments across public and private realms in Stockholm and Dublin, and we analyse how specific types of experiments co-produce epistemic and ontological work. Our results illustrate how different experimental designs can be conducive in taming and/or framing ambiguous concepts through interconnected processes of such onto-epistemological work. This highlights the distributed and relational but also the ‘provocative’ facets of performing ambiguous concepts through experiments. We discuss the consequences of these insights for how we think about scaling from experiments to broader socio-economic realities.

“…A few recent studies on how health policies influence the development of healthcare markets (cf. Mason & Araujo, 2021), or how media systems play a role in food markets (cf. Hopkinson, 2017), made inroads in this domain, but few studies have attempted to capture the multiple systems that construct and perform markets.…”

“…The notion of expertise and materials at hand is an important one for those seeking to understand and intervene in markets (Mason & Araujo, 2021). What is at hand, in our market research illustration, is knowledge of methods, tools and techniques.…”

Despite a growing understanding of market infrastructures—the rules and socio-material arrangements that enable agreements on the properties of goods, and the calculation of value, equivalence and exchange—we know little of what lies beneath the arrangements that underpin and are implicated in exchange. The socio-material lens has done much to explain how specific assemblages circulate information and goods, but has done little to explain how different infrastructures configure relations between dispersed market practices. Using the history of the development of the market for market research we show how knowledge-based infrastructures constitute markets as knowledge objects: new expertise emerged through alliances between academia, government, and private actors form a new occupation embodied in specialist agencies that set themselves up in an infrastructural relation to marketing practices. Our conceptualization of markets as knowledge objects extends extant understandings of markets by showing how: (1) extant knowledge-based infrastructures are drawn on to construct new markets; (2) infrastructural relations emerge between different markets to constitute multiple systems of provision and demand, leading to an increasingly valuable knowledge infrastructure; and (3) organized practices in one market are often heavily reliant on connections to other markets, including knowledge-based infrastructures such as market research services.

“…The existing public management scholarship explores different and at times competing high‐level models: including, Traditional Public Administration (TPA), the New Public Management (NPM) (Hansen and Jacobsen, 2016; Mason and Araujo, 2021), Network Governance (NG) (Osborne, 2010) and now PV (Moore, 1995) as a possible post‐NPM model (Talbot, 2009; Bryson, Crosby and Bloomberg, 2014).…”

The Public Value model is widely discussed in the contemporary public management literature. Despite the growing discourse, few associated publications reflect empirical research. The important question of how public organizations, originally based on traditional public administration models, change to become public value‐orientated is underexplored. We first review the literature on public value, given alternative models of Traditional Public Administration, New Public Management, and Network Governance. We apply a core analytical framework in the public value literature (the ‘strategic triangle’) to an intensive case study of a large national agency that chose a public value strategy. Although staff support for public value (in the form of sustainable development goals) is significant, constraining factors inherited from prior public management models interfere with realizing public value ambitions ‘purely’. The study enhances an understanding of applying the Public Value model in practice by producing insights about barriers and pre‐conditions to such an organizational transition, notably from a wider institutional context. Theoretically, we suggest that the Public Value model has the potential to move to a synergy of elements of existing models in a new configuration. The implications for future research and practice are discussed.
