La crescente diffusione di numerosi organismi produttivi, aventi una propria personalità giuridica (pubblica o privata), ha modificato profondamente il sistema di governance nelle amministrazioni pubbliche locali (d’ora in poi Apl). Questo processo non implica solo la delega a produrre determinati servizi, ma fa emergere anche all’interno delle stesse Apl l’esigenza di attivare idonee linee di coordinamento, indirizzo e controllo nei confronti delle aziende partecipate. L’Apl è quindi responsabile del raggiungimento simultaneo di obiettivi di economicità e di socialità ed, inoltre, gli incrementi di efficienza ed efficacia resi possibili dalla specializzazione aziendale dei servizi pubblici non dovranno essere finalizzati alla massimizzazione dei profitti conseguiti, ma dovranno tradursi in benefici netti per la collettività amministrata.
The growing diffusion of numerous productive bodies, with their own autonomy, has profoundly modified the internal governance of local governments (heretofore referred to as LGs). This process implicates not only the authority to produce determinated services, but also produces within the LGs the need to activate suitable lines of co-ordination, direction and control over the participating companies. The local government is, therefore, responsible for simultaneously reaching the objectives of economy and sociality and, furthermore, the increase in efficiency and efficacy made possible by corporate specialisation in public service does not have to be exclusively aimed at the maximising profits for public company, but should be translated into benefits met for the local community.
