Managing the Public Sector - Tapa dura

"The material covered is essential and it is great to have it in the text, the cases are perfect, (they) capture the text and bring it alive, and the overview of traditional leadership studies is very complete for an intro text and as such is a great resource for students." "The text does not take a traditional flow but this works well and allows for more depth in terms of discussion, especially by having intergovernmental issues and ethics early in the text ... the Technology chapter is very unique and makes for a much more comprehensive text."

Combining the most current public management thinking and research with examples of how organizations apply these ideas, MANAGING THE PUBLIC SECTOR is a comprehensive introduction to the field. In its seventh edition, the goal of the text remains the same; it seeks to engage the student's intellect by going beyond providing the basic foundation of management. The text places the application of management in the context of the public sector and tries to capture some of the excitement and challenge of the field.
