This is a new kind of book on public management. Using
conversations, cases and original sources, it engages, in a
challenging and amusing way, with the key themes and problems of
the field. After writing many conventional books and articles
Christopher Pollitt has turned to this novel approach in order to
offer students, teachers and practitioners alike a refreshing
introduction to both the 'classic' and the most fashionable issues
in public management.
The book provides a vigorous overview of such crucial topics as the
differences and similarities between public and private sector
management, the nature of the 'New Public Management', the
development of networks and partnerships, the impacts of politics
and citizen participation on public administration, changes in the
ethics and value climate for public servants, and the fundamental
question of what kind of advice academics can (and cannot) offer to
practising managers. It is international in its scope and draws
upon examples and sources from Europe, North America and
Australasia.
Although the style is lively and informal, the text is built upon a
very wide range of academic writing and research. For those who
wish to go deeper at any point, each chapter offers a summary of
the litaerature and guidance on further sources.
The Essential Public Manager offers readers a stimulating journey
through the challenges facing those who run the basic systems and
services in our societies. It constitutes a valuable new source for
students, teachers and practising managers alike.
