“…This depends on the network manager's ability to create and manage network relationships. It is, in fact, a responsibility of the network manager to act as mediator and moderator among multiple and contrasting interests (Agranoff and McGuire 2001), to induce partners to trust each other (Klijn et al 2010b), and to promote knowledge sharing (Koliba et al 2017). At the same time, however, gaps in connectedness among clusters of strongly connected organizations can favor the circulation of new ideas and innovation, and thus lead to network success.…”

Network managers engage in several day-today activities, including bridging, networking, and stabilizing relationships. Still, when should they opt for one activity or another? Our study shows that this choice needs to be taken in combination with certain network characteristics, such as network development stage, connectivity, and trust. It sheds light on four different combinations of activities and network characteristics that are simultaneously able to lead to perceived high network performance. It also suggests three approaches to network management in networks that differ in their development stage, connectivity and trust: stabilize, stabilize and connect, stabilize and develop.

“…The research thus confirms that civil society organizations play especially prominent roles in open government and transparency policy areas (Fung, 2013;Zyl, 2014), but assigns a strong role to the co-option of existing networks and their balance with vertical authority. Nonprofits and government organizations tend to value multisector, horizontal structures more strongly than other sectors (Koliba et al, 2017). According to Ferlie, Fitzgerald, McGivern, Dopson, and Bennett (2011, p. 321), long-term networks provide "a stable organizational core, ultimately rooted in the logic of professionalism, which protected organizational memory and learning."…”

This article explores an organizational design perspective of open government. A conceptual model is developed of how contingency factors, design parameters, and goals fit together in an open government organization based on two case studies in the United Kingdom and the United States. The cases are compared, and the unique and common organizational design choices are drawn out and evaluated. The countries' political systems mean they differ in how they design open government. However, they both designed organizational structures of centralized leadership, technology-driven processes of coproduction, and co-option of existing policy networks.

“…Although most of the works are in progress, it is believed that this initiative will encourage different countries and logistics firms to rethink how they import and export goods and services. With a much more efficient infrastructure for container terminals and high-speed freight trains between countries, as well as improved information sharing in global supply chains [33], some freight cargoes could switch to sea and land transports from air transport, thus reducing GHG emissions from the logistics sector.…”

Logistics play a crucial role in the development of the world economy as globalization continues. Because international trade is a driver of the gross domestic product (GDP), it impacts the economies of cities and countries. However, all transport modes consume energy and produce air pollutants including greenhouse gases (GHGs) either directly or indirectly. This paper uses a triple bottom line approach to examine the environmental, economic, and social performance of Hong Kong's logistics sector. The data, including annual cargo movements between Hong Kong and other places by different transport modes (container ships, aircraft, heavy trucks, and freight trains), the respective values added, and the number of workers employed in this sector, were collected from the Hong Kong government. Results showed that the total cargo weight had increased by 40% between 2000 and 2014. During the same period of time, the logistics sector contributed an average of 4.2% to Hong Kong's total GDP, provided an average of 5.6% of total employment, but produced an average of 37.4% of Hong Kong's total GHG emission.
