ABSTRACT

Quasi-governmental institutions for policy implementation in South Korea have been established in the policy areas of industry, employment, public health, safety, and environment. While implementing policy, they have played a key role in developing policy implementation networks and facilitating collaboration between the public and private sectors. Although the practice of collaboration has gained popularity and legitimacy in these days, there is a paucity of appropriate quantitative performance indicators to measure the performance by collaboration. In this chapter, we review the history of the 18 quasi-governmental institutions for policy implementation, analyze their performance indicators from the perspective of how much they reflect the performance through collaboration with other actors, and suggest practical implications for designing performance indicators to facilitate collaboration between the public and private sectors.
