Knowledge and Practice in Business and Organisations contributes to
scholarly understanding of knowledge and practice, mapping the
conceptual terrain, providing a critical review of debates in the
field and setting out key theoretical perspectives. Knowledge and
practice are explored in a range of organisational and policy
settings through six context-specific discussions. The collection
helps shape the field, identify areas for future research inquiry,
and suggest implications for practitioners. The range of sites of
inquiry represented in the book (e.g. craft working, accounting,
public sector organisations, creative industries, health care, and
so on) make the book distinctive, enabling the reader to connect
debates and ideas from across a range of sectors and disciplines.
The book charts different currents of debate which have hitherto
tended to remain unconnected. In one accessible volume, this book
provides an excellent introduction to a set of concepts that have
animated scholarly conversations across a range of disciplines and
provides cases and examples of practices which come from beyond any
one particular sector. Aimed at researchers and academics in the
field, this book is valuable source, helping define and progress
the scholarly debate.
'This is an excellent 'do-it-yourself' introductory study to public
sector management, covering a wide range of issues, including

in the practice and study of public sector management.' - Tony
Ayers, National President, Institute of Public Administration
Australia The traditional view of public sector management is under
challenge. The shifting boundaries of the public-private sector are
transforming the nature of the public sector in the 21st century
and placing increasing demands on managers. This user-friendly
handbook examines the changes that have taken place over the last
twenty years and addresses the practical issues faced by public
servants today. It makes abundant use of exhibits, case studies and
real world examples to illustrate key concepts in public sector
management. By including many 'points for reference', the authors
challenge readers to apply both theory and practice to those public
services situations with which they are familiar. Australian
Handbook of Public Sector Management is a unique blend of academic
and practical approaches to current management practices in the
public sector. It has been designed to assist students and those
new to the public sector to develop the knowledge and skills they
require to provide high quality public services.

Building substantially on the earlier, landmark text, What Works?
(Policy Press, 2000), this book brings together key thinkers and
researchers to provide a contemporary review of the aspirations and
realities of evidence-informed policy and practice. The text is
clearly structured and provides sector-by-sector analysis of
evidence use in policy-making and service delivery. It considers
some cross-cutting themes, including a section of international
commentaries, and concludes by looking at lessons from the past and
prospects for the future. This book will be of interest to a wide
range of social science researchers, students and practitioners as
well as those interested in supporting more evidence-informed
policy and practice.
