• W65013959 abstract "IntroductionDelivering appropriate assistance to businesses with the aim of enhancing regional development is the task of economic development officers (EDO) working in federal, state and/or local government departments to implement specific policies related to regional development. Using a public sector lens, EDOs are not supposed to be policy makers, however, Stewart (1999) argues that because they are in a position to use the strategies provided by policy makers, they use their understanding of often competing policies to prioritise the implementation of some policies and perhaps neglect others.Federal government policies provide the umbrella framework (broad objectives, funding options, accountability directives etc.) from which state and local governments develop specific policies for their state and region, and processes for assisting businesses to apply for available funding. For many countries entrepreneurial Small, Medium Enterprises (SMEs) provide the engine for employment growth in a region and without which, regions contract with catastrophic outcomes for employment and the provision of essential services and community improvement. Hence, governments often intervene to assist SMEs to become innovative so that they can be more competitive in the market place. Within SMEs, innovations refer to any new process that improves the efficiency and effectiveness of doing business (Scozzi, Carvelli, & Crowston, 2005).Industry cluster development is one model used by governments to assist businesses to build capability and capacity and improve their competitive advantage over time (Inkpen and Tsang, 2005; Enright and Roberts (2001). Within the Australian context, the aim of government policy has been to develop policies aimed at promoting collaboration amongst businesses at the federal, state and local level. However, previous research has identified that policy implementation depends on the interpretation of the original message, resource availability and the existing organisational culture. Poorly defined policies, and/or poorly resourced policies rarely get implemented. Consequently, the original policy objectives are often modified during the implementation phase (Brunetto & Farr-Wharton, 2005; Stewart, 1999).One way of analysing policies is to use a policy framework to identify which specific factors are impacting on policy outcomes during the implementation process. A typical lens for examining the efficacy of policies aimed at assisting businesses to grow as a strategy of regional growth is Page's (2006) policy framework. It perceives outcomes as a reflection of four components (principles, policy lines, measures and practices). He argues that the federal government provides the principles (the direction of policies for regional development policies will be implemented); federal, state and local government departments provide the policy lines (that identify specific strategies to be used to address specific issues) as well as the measures (that are used to implement a specific program); whereas the work practices of EDOs employed to implement the policies are affected not only by the programs, strategies and instruments used to implement the policies, but also the bureaucratic and managerialist implementation context that governs budgets, work culture and expected outcomes (Page, 2006).This paper focuses on the perceived effectiveness of policies assisting businesses to grow as a strategy for promoting economic growth from the perspective of the EDOs and from clients (businesses). As such the research examines the impact of EDO practices (Page, 2006) on policy outcomes. However, Alford (2002) argues that there are two issues that must be addressed when delivering a public product: firstly, public sector bureaucrats must develop a meaningful service provider- client relationship with the individual clients who express a preference to receive the public product, and secondly, if the first issue is addressed, then it is likely that the government agencies will meet their responsibilities to the wider community (citizens that vote in the democratic political process). …" @default.
