Routledge Complexity and the Experience of Managing in Public Sector - Routledge

Public sector governance faces a fundamental challenge regarding how organizations are perceived and managed. This volume by Routledge challenges the traditional view of an organization as a static system designed for specific outcomes. Instead, it presents a new perspective where organizations are seen as complex responsive processes formed through human relationships. This book brings together research from participants in the Doctor of Management program at Hertfordshire University. It examines the shift toward marketization and managerialism within the public sector. By focusing on human relationships and group dynamics, the text provides a deep look at how people actually interact within these structures. It is an essential resource for those studying the social sciences, sociology, and the changing landscape of public management.
