Managers responsible for spending public money in health and social
welfare are facing unprecedented pressures to deliver better
services against a background of fierce competition for resources,
profound organizational change and the creation of internal market
places. In this practically-directed book, William Bryans explains
how business principles can be applied in the public service
context to enable managers to meet this challenge. The author
demonstrates how it is possible to create a surplus for service
development by effective strategic management of external and
internal financial environments, operational management of
workloads and resources, and tactical intervention to limit budget
fluctuations to tolerable levels. Each chapter includes a purpose
statement, an outline of relevant theory and practice, a keypoint
summary and a case study based on real world situations.
