Abstract. Digital technologies influence operations and managerial processes in Courts of Justice. Notwithstanding peculiarities, Courts are incrementing the amount of available data that represent a huge opportunity. Proposing an exploratory case study, this Chapter aims to connect the reflection on new policy making models to the reflection on digital practices in the judiciary offices. An open data disclosure process is a case proposed to reflect about a shift in public administrations’ model of interaction with organizational environment: from revising processes to face operational emergencies (extractive interaction model) to revising processes to provide knowledge and interpretative tools to its environment (platform interaction model). Judiciary services produce a platform providing a deep understanding of social and economic systems. Enabling justice to become a platform, where different subjects can acquire information and data, is a goal of primary importance for the elaboration of public policies, but also to empower social innovation and entrepreneurial opportunities.

Excerpt. “Organizational Culture and Institutional Logics
More than this, discussion can be carried on the ground of institutional logics and organizational culture. Institutional logics have been defined as socially constructed values, beliefs, and rules, by which individuals constantly provide meaning to their reality, ordering material and social context. Institutional logics operate at a macro-societal level but strongly influence organizational cultures: in the same organization there can be multiple institutional logics leaving space to diachronic processes of cultural change, to individual agency [Boltanski & Thévenot 2006] triggered by institutional entrepreneurs or competing logics.”
