Public tasks are not fulfilled exclusively by central administration organizational forms, but also by decentralized, outsourced and even private-law administrative bodies. Public companies in the Confederation, cantons and municipalities play a particularly important role in guaranteeing the public service. The organization and management of such administrative bodies pose a particular challenge in this respect.
This public corporate governance is researched in a variety of ways at the KPM - also in the context of application-oriented research, such as the assessment of the management model of public companies of the federal government, in which Prof. Dr. Andreas Lienhard was involved.
The research is also carried out in an international network, for example in cooperation with the Zeppelin University in Friedrichshafen. A new PCG model code has been developed as part of this cooperation. Prof. Dr. Andreas Lienhard was a member of the expert commission.
