Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to demonstrate, through a longitudinal case study, how Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) have effectively created diverse social values based on their missions through a Public Private Partnership (PPP). The main research achievements are as follows. First, focusing on the institutional logics underlying the strategic conduct of such NPOs, we clarified how the target NPOs (Local Instructure Organizations) have skillfully adapted their logics to the logic of a local government in the process of forming and implementing the PPP while expanding their own organizational capabilities through leveraging strategies. Second, following the case analysis, the conditions for NPOs to effectively create multiple social values through the PPP were presented.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

研究成果の主な意義は、行政の視点に基づいてPPPの機能と政策環境との有効な適合関係を重視する傾向にある公共経営研究や公共政策過程と切り離して効果的に社会的価値を創造する組織行動の条件を探求する傾向にある非営利組織研究とは一線を画し、PPP と関連付けながら非営利組織の戦略的行為を時系列に捉えることによって持続可能な社会的価値創造を可能にする条件を明らかにした点にある。
