Resumo

This paper is based on a policy-making study that sought to compare 15 cases of innovation inpublic management policies (PMPs) and in the design of programmatic organizations (DPOs)in three analytical units: Barcelona, Boston and Turin. The research adopted an inductivemethodological approach and had descriptive and explanatory aims. The description of caseswas guided by the five conventional variables of policy-making studies: contents (what),actors (who), phases (when), institutions (where) and styles (how), the 4W1H framework.This framework was also used in the explanatory phase of the research, resting on theempirical findings in the field to arrive at the formulation of hypotheses about the relationshipbetween the five variables. This research generates two hypotheses 1) the content of a policycan influence the phase in which conflicts are more intense: 2) the policymaking style caninfluence the phase in which conflicts are more intense.
