Global Public Management offers a collection of cases illustrating
managerial problems and policy situations that managers could face
anywhere in the world. These cases are then analyzed by universal
scholars and practitioners of public management. The case comments
focus on identifying the problem in the case and offering
suggestions on how to handle the conflict. Taken together, the case
and the three different assessments of the case offer a marvelous
way for students of administration to gain vicarious experience in
managing in a global environment. The cases describe situations
that managers might face, and the comments offered by the experts
clearly demonstrate that managerial problems are in the eye of the
beholder and that there are the alternative strategies to solve the
problem. Key Features: The cases are short, between 3 and 10 pages
in length, and they address issues that a typical public manager
faces on the job. This book presents both the problematic situation
and a host of proposed solutions. The suggested interpretations of
the cases come from public administration academics and
practitioners who have worked or are working in Africa, Asia,
Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East.
This book presents persuasive arguments in support of public
service and those who work within it. The authors argue that some
services are only appropriate to government control: public safety,
highways, armed and emergency services, parks, and public schools.
Other services are operated/undertaken by government in response to
problems that society and the private sector have failed to solve:
housing, transportation, clean air and water, and so on. In both
instances, the public sector requires complex problem-solving
processesunever simple solutionsuand, despite the negative images
of (bumbling) bureaucrats imprinted on the public consciousness,
Government at Work shows how public servants do difficult jobs
well. Marc Holzer and Kathe Callahan compile evidence that
creativity, productivity, and excellence are not strangers to, but
often characteristic of, government programs. The public sectorAEs
innovative problem-solving should be exploited in the attack on
complex problems as they emerge in our society.
