In an international context, public management arrangements differ
significantly from country to country, but also regionally and
locally. One reason for these differences may be differences in
culture resulting in differing views of the state and its
institutions. This may sound trivial, but it becomes highly
important when public management reform models are proposed and
transferred from one country to others, such as was (and still is)
the case with, for example, the new public management. Scholars in
public management as well as internationally acting practitioners
should be aware of the impact culture has on the possibilities and
limits of concept transfers between different jurisdictions. Having
said this, one precondition for a better consideration of cultural
elements in public management reforms is a better understanding of
culture itself. Among the public management community, cultural
theory has gained considerable attention. There are, however, other
concepts for the analysis of cultural facts that may be of interest
to the subject, too.
In this book, cultural influences (including organizational culture
of public organizations) on public management and its reform are
explored. Articles address definitions and conceptualizations of
culture in the context of public management, cultural artifacts in
public management, and give examples of cultural elements in public
management from various countries. This volume helps to structure
the discussion of cultural elements and points out approaches to
study and incorporate cultural aspects in public management
research and debate.
Research in Public Policy Analysis and Management is now available
online at ScienceDirectfull-text online of volumes 11 onwards.
