This Handbook provides an authoritative overview of current issues
and debates in the field of health care management. It contains
over twenty chapters from well-known and eminent academic authors,
who were carefully selected for their expertise and asked to
provide a broad and critical overview of developments in their
particular topic area. The development of an international
perspective and body of knowledge is a key feature of the book. The
Handbook secondly makes a case for bringing back a social science
perspective into the study of the field of health care management.
It therefore contains a number of contrasting and theoretically
orientated chapters (e.g. on institutionalism; critical management
studies). This social science based approach is a refreshing
alternative to much existing work in this domain and offers a good
way into current academic debates in this field. The Handbook
thirdly explores a variety of important policy and organizational
developments apparent within the current health care field (e.g.
new organizational forms; growth of management consulting in health
care organizations). It therefore explores and comments on major
contemporary trends apparent in the practice field.
