Contract management is a critical skill for all contemporary public
managers. As more government duties are contracted out, managers
must learn to coordinate and measure the performance of private
contractors, and to write contract requirements and elicit bids
that obtain important services and products at the best possible
price and quality. They must also learn to work in teams that
include both public and private sector partners. "The Responsible
Contract Manager" delves into the issues of how to ensure that the
work done by private sector contractors serves the public interest
and argues for the necessity of making these organizations act as
extensions of the public sector while maintaining their private
character. Government contract managers have a unique burden
because they must develop practices that ensure the production
advantages of networked organizations and the transparency and
accountability required of the public sector. "The Responsible
Contract Manager" fills a major gap in public management literature
by providing a clear and practical introduction to the best
practices of contract management and also includes a discussion of
public ethics, governance and representation theory. It is an
essential guide for all public management scholars and is
especially useful for students in MPA graduate programs and related
fields.
