Governance in the Public Value Framework
Pages 1-06

Abstract
Since the very earliest research in the public sector field, the nature of the relationship between politics and administration has been the object of much scholarly debate. The principal-agent model prevails as the dominant theory of the political control of the bureaucracy literature while New Public Management (NPM) introduces private sector management principles in the public sector. Public value theory on the other hand, sits at the intersection between an organization’s operational capacity, its vision and outcomes and its authorising environment. Building around these theories, we aim to cover part of the gaps identified within the field of public governance research, through the examination of the key constituents of the public value theory emphasizing the political context within which it is created.

Abstract
The present paper analyses the identity of the entrepreneurial woman and the imbalance with respect to men marked by cultural and socio-economic factors in social economy enterprises. The article focuses on the working partners of social economy companies located in Andalucia (Spain), where about 25% are women. Through a fieldword, 400 surveys of working women members and 400 interviews with managers of cooperatives and working societies have been conducted, motivated by the low participation of the female population in the entrepreneurship developed in cooperatives and laboral companies with the aim of proposing more appropriate strategies and policies to change labour inequalities between men and women in entrepreneurship.

Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this article is to investigate the viability of crowdfunding as a new financing tool in Spain. Design/methodology/approach: We analyze the company Colectual and the 93 projects that have been carried out between April 2018 and November 2019, studying the evolution of the amounts collected per project, the number of investors per project and the average ticket per investor and project. Findings: Colectual makes a classification of the projects according to risk and profitability, which guides the investors and is useful to them. Their growth is progressive, allowing the platform to consolidate in the market. Research/practical implications: The viability of investments in crowdfunding projects is showed. In this way, capital is democratized, distributing it to companies that, under banking criteria, might not have obtained financing. Originality/value: The paper allows to understand the function of interest and rating and gives a clear view of a crowdlending platform, showing that different profiles of investors can fit in the crowdfunding system.
