structure of the legal entity, decision making and governance can be made by sole proprietors, partners, or boards of directors. In contrast, other enterprises are described as being public, where publicness represents the extent to which public authority influences how organizations act ( Nutt, 1992 ). Rather than viewing public and private as dichotomous categories, it is possible to view the structure on a public-private continuum ( Lewis and Zolin, 2004 ). Perry and Rainey (1988) identified ownership, funding, and control to sort organizations into eight categories. Public ownership implies that some form of government entity owns the assets and decision rights to the enterprise. Public funding means that the goods and/or services provided are paid for out of the public purse. Public control means that the government is the primary decision maker, both in terms of day-to-day decisions and longer-term decisions. Rainey and Bozeman (2000) contend that all organizations have some level of publicness. Lewis and Zolin (2004) proposed a Public to Private Continuum, which ranks organizations from public to private based on Perry and Rainey's three factors -- public versus private ownership, public versus private funding, and type of control, plus the extent to which the organization uses a board as a proxy for market interactions. Lewis and Zolin (2004) suggest that the Public to Private Continuum can be extended to include other factors that differentiate public and private organizations. The nature of public goods Public goods have joint consumption, which means that exclusion of some from use
