The book maintains its highly accessible yet analytical style and examines in detail the major management issues of strategy, competition, co-operation and collaboration, service design and delivery, people management, organisational structures, financial management and the management of performance.
Reviews / Votes
Owen Hughes Australia and New Zealand School of Government, Melbourne, Australia. "The book aims to help 'anyone in the public sector to understand and cope with the recent changes, and places them in the context of the development of the welfare state'. This it does and this it does well. Norman Flynn's "Public Sector Management "is now in its fourth edition and there is no reason why it should not continue for many more."More details
