The Creation of Public Value

TIn line with national frameworks, the University of Genoa defines the creation of public value as the enhancement of well-being for the recipients of its policies and services. To clarify our specific contribution, we distinguish between several related concepts:

Sectoral Value

This refers to the direct impact of the University's policies on the well-being of stakeholders within our three core mission areas: Education and Student Services, Research, and Third Mission.

 
Public Value (Narrow Definition)

This represents the average impact of the University's policies on the overall well-being (economic, social, and environmental) of our stakeholders. It measures the cumulative, additional well-being generated by our activities.

  • Measurement: Assessed by the degree of achievement of our Public Value Objectives.
 
Public Value(Broad Definition)

This is the most comprehensive measure, assessing the overall impact on stakeholder well-being by also considering effective governance, risk management, and the sustainable use of institutional resources.

  • Measurement: Assessed by correlating the achievement of Public Value Objectives with performance in executive management, anti-corruption measures, and human capital development.
 
Acknowledged Public Value 

This refers to the impact of the University's policies as perceived and acknowledged by our external stakeholders.

  • Measurement: Assessed through dedicated stakeholder surveys.
