Public value creation models in hybrid organizations: a preliminary case study

The paper aims to investigate and analyze the public value creation models in hybrid organizations, with a specific focus on the case study of the Sub-Equana Valley Smart Energy Community (SEC or SEVEC hereafter). The following objectives guide the research: - To examine the concept of public value creation in the context of hybrid organizations: the paper seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical foundations and key elements of public value creation, particularly in the context of hybrid organizations that operate at the intersection of public, private, and civil society sectors. It aims to explore the diverse approaches and frameworks employed in creating public value within such organizations. - To analyze the public value creation models employed in the Sub-Equana Valley Smart Energy Community: the study specifically investigates the Sub-Equana Valley Smart Energy Community as a representative case study of a hybrid organization. It aims to analyze the various strategies, initiatives, and collaborations employed by this community in order to create public value, particularly in the domain of smart energy solutions. The objective is to identify the key factors that contribute to successful public value creation within the context of the Sub-Equana Valley Smart Energy Community. - To assess the outcomes and impacts of public value creation in the Sub-Equana Valley Smart Energy Community: the paper aims to evaluate the outcomes and impacts resulting from the public value creation initiatives implemented by the Sub-Equana Valley Smart Energy Community. It seeks to measure the effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of the community's efforts in generating public value, including the social, economic, and environmental benefits realized by various stakeholders. - To provide insights and recommendations for enhancing public value creation in hybrid organizations: based on the analysis of the Sub-Equana Valley Smart Energy Community case study, the paper intends to draw practical insights and recommendations for other hybrid organizations seeking to enhance their public value creation efforts. The objective is to offer guidance and actionable strategies that can be applied by organizations operating in similar contexts, fostering the advancement of sustainable and inclusive development models.
