Managing Public and Nonprofit Organizations approaches public
management learning in a unique way, examining more than 100
high-profile and little-known administrative failure and success
stories to explore how failures happen, how they can be prevented,
and how to replicate successes in other jurisdictions. Organized to
complement a standard public management or organizational behavior
textbook structure, and to satisfy NASPAA accreditation
requirements, this book explores both traditional public
administration functions (performance management, financial
management, human-resource management, procurement management,
policymaking, capital management, and information-technology
management) and organizational concepts (organizational structure
and organizational culture). Unlike a traditional casebook, the
accompanying stories do not stop in the middle to ask the readers
what they would do; instead readers are asked to consider how the
events illuminate what public management means and how to make it
most effective. The stories ground and give meaning to the book's
review of principles and best practices. Stories include both
well-known and highly reported stories of success and failure
including Wikileaks, the Boston Marathon bombing, bankruptcy of
Detroit, British Petroleum oil spill, 9/11 World Trade Center
attack, decision to invade Iraq, Affordable Care Act website
rollout, "Bridgegate" scandal, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard killings.
The stories do not pass judgment on governments and nonprofits as
institutions, but rather teach students and practitioners best
management practices by example. Discussion questions are included
at the end of each chapter to prompt classroom discussion.
