Abstract [en]

As more and more policy problems are framed and understood as wicked, complex, and unmanageable, public administrators are supposed to act like entrepreneurs in search of creative ways to solve or handle a public problem. As a result, an entrepreneurial logic seems to be established in government administration. This paper aims to describe – but first and foremost to encourage a critical discussion about – the consequences of entrepreneurial logic. The concluding arguments are twofold. First, the entrepreneurial logic could be seen as a “bull in a china shop”, turning established orders upside down. Although the entrepreneurial logic is institutionalized in specific policy areas, it represents a fundamental break with local governments’ still dominant, bureaucratic-rational logic. Second, the entrepreneurial logic is like “a wolf in sheep’s clothing”. The entrepreneurial logic appears attractive to legitimacy-seeking organizations, being associated with creativity, development, and growth. However, it risks undermining fundamental bureaucratic values, as well as the institutional pillars of representative democracy.
