Which entrepreneurial opportunities do public servants find appealing, and what influences their evaluation?
The study of 14 entrepreneurial projects in Norwegian municipalities reveals that public servants find welfare, economic, and participatory opportunities particularly appealing. These evaluations are guided by public sector logics, influenced by state, market, and community priorities. We contribute by linking entrepreneurial opportunities to institutional logics and introducing a taxonomy that categorizes these opportunities based on their interplay, highlighting the nuanced agency of public servants in this process.
