It will provide you with new strategies for understanding and adapting to the constant change taking place today in public administration and policy.
Features:
  • Supports faculty in presenting in their classes new approaches to the field
  • Helps students better understand the concepts and relevance of the field they are studying
  • Provides a means for practitioners to apply more effective approaches to real-world problem solving
  • Enables theory developers to explore new avenues of study
  • Assists professionals from many different fields in better understanding the significance and value of public administration
This book develops a unified approach to theory and practice in the field. A new approach is taken to theory development based on applying recent studies by several authors in the areas of qualitative analysis and typologies. As illustrated throughout, many of the existing limited-scope theories in public administration may be extended and generalized for use in today’s environment by the studies explored in this volume.

Ferd and Cheryl are both attorneys, and they practice together as married partners at Mitchell Law Office in Spokane, WA. They are also established authors of legal practice books for attorneys, with an emphasis on interpreting how new programs and program changes are likely to affect practice strategies.
For many years, they have been developing procedures to evaluate how changes in the public sector affect organizations and often lead to actual program outcomes that differ from intended outcomes. As part of this effort, they have explored how qualitative methods of analysis can best be applied to enhance the understanding of such changes. They also have applied these insights to studies of the issues that exist today in public administration and policy, and how changes in the field may best be achieved.
