Governance and Public Management |
| Description: |
Through contemporary case studies of strategic management at work in the US and Europe, this collection shows that it can no longer be seen as a discipline for long term decisions but has become a central feature of the public sector. Individual chapters offer insights into strategic management capabilities at the national and sub-national level. |
| Synopsis: |
Through up-to-date studies of public services, an outstanding cast of contributors provide in-depth and innovative perspectives on the state of strategic public management in the USA and Europe. Collectively, these compelling case studies offer profound insights into the emergence of strategic management practices and capabilities at both the national and sub-national level. Moreover, the individual contributions also investigate the nexus between strategic planning and other public management systems alongside the strategic dimension of networks and partnerships. This volume shows that strategic management, far from being simply a disciplined approach to long-term decisions, has become a central feature of public organisations at large in the US and Europe. The result is a collection that is essential reading for all students and scholars of public management and administration. |
