Public Management in Transition: The Orchestration of Potentiality
Autor Niels Åkerstrøm Andersen, Justine Grønbæk Porsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 feb 2016
In the debate over how best to manage public administration and welfare institutions, there exists a great tension between calls to control and calls to generate change. Public Management in Transition takes on this tension, providing an overview of important pathways for implementing innovation in public organization and, through it, the management of governments. Following an analysis of large-scale societal changes, chapters explore the effects these changes have on central public administrations, individual welfare institutions, the management of individuals themselves (both as employees and citizens), and finally how these effects might foment transformations of the form of the state. With text boxes highlighting examples, key concepts, and reflection points from the fields of education, health care, social work, ecology, foreign aid, and political science, Public Management in Transition will appeal to academics, practitioners, and students across a range of disciplines.

Recenzii
“A fantastic introduction to governance that brings together the concepts of innovation, organizational change, and inter/intra-organizational collaboration, while considering the role of citizens within the delivery of public services.”
“This is an insightful, mature textbook. Thanks to the international perspective adopted by the authors combined with the rootedness of the analysis and argumentation in the German sociology and the systemic management tradition, Public Management in Transition will make a much needed, original contribution to the current offering of textbooks in the area of public management.”
