Public Management and Administration, Paperback

The nature and management of the public sector has changed dramatically since a more flexible, market-based model replaced the rigid, bureaucratic form of public administration of the 20th century. The fourth edition of this highly successful text provides a uniquely broad ranging and international introduction to the field.
