Rethinking Public Administration: The Case for Management

Government does not suffer, and has never suffered, from a lack of political input at the top. Government does suffer, however, from a lack of management. If the institutions of government are to re-formulate themselves in recognition of the present economic and moral imperatives to do so, strong and capable management will be essential to the task. In this respect, government comes up far short. This book is about government's managerial deficiency and how it could be remedied.
