While the field of public management has become increasingly
international, research and policy recommendations that work for
one country often do not work for another. Why, for example, is
managerial networking important in the United States, moderately
effective in the United Kingdom, and of little consequence in the
Netherlands[unk] Comparative Public Management argues that scholars
must find a better way to account for political, environmental, and
organizational contexts to build a more general model of public
management. The volume editors propose a framework in which context
influences the types of managerial actions that can be used
effectively in public organizations. After introducing the
innovative framework, the book offers seven empiricalchapters-cases
from seven countries and a range of policy areas (health,education,
taxation, and local governance)-that show how management affects
performance in different contexts. Following these empirical tests,
the bookexamines themes that emerge across cases and seeks to set
an agenda forfuture research. Intended for students and scholars of
public administration and public policy, this book will be the
first to provide a comprehensive comparative assessment of
management's impact on organizational performance.
