This major new text on the theory and practice of public management
moves away from descriptive accounts of its evolution to provide a
systematic treatment of the key paradigms of public management
today. It examines their competing outlooks, values, tools and
assumptions and - using a wide range of examples from different
areas of management around the world - their implications for
practice. The text sets out three contrasting 'logics' for
management - performance, professionalism and politics - and shows
how public managers act on the interplay between these for
effective results. Relating all three logics to a wide range of
diverse contexts - from police services to healthcare, social
services to educational providers - the text shows how managers can
simultaneously perform to a high standard, act professionally
through their work, and cope with internal and external politics.
Incorporating the latest theories and practices, this comprehensive
book will appeal to readers around the world wanting to understand,
and contribute to, public management today.
