Description

Public service performance is a top priority in modern political debate. From education and policing to health and recycling, the efficiency, cost, and effectiveness of these services impact many countries. This book by Oxford University Press provides a deep look into how public organizations can improve. By applying the latest thinking from Management and Organization Studies, this text evaluates different mechanisms for driving improvement within the public sector. It bridges the gap between private sector research and public sector needs. The book explores how drivers of improved performance, previously identified in private sector management, can be applied to the unique challenges of public organizations. This resource is designed for those studying or working within management and organizational theory. It offers a structured way to evaluate how public services can achieve better results through proven management principles.
