Description

In the current economic and political climate, public organizations face intense pressure to deliver services through cost-efficient methods. Governments worldwide have implemented various business-like practices, such as performance management and public-private partnerships, with the goal of increasing service efficiency. However, these policies often lack a coherent understanding of what efficiency actually means in a public context. This book, part of the Routledge Critical Studies in Public Management series, examines the ongoing debate surrounding public service efficiency. It analyzes the impact of modern management practices and explores how the pursuit of cost-effectiveness shapes the delivery of essential services. For students, academics, and professionals in public management, this text provides a necessary perspective on the policies and practices currently driving government operations. By questioning the existing frameworks, the book offers a deeper look at the complexities of managing public resources in a changing global landscape.
