Description
This book provides a systematic and comprehensive study for understanding the nature, causes, content, and consequences of public management reform in Hong Kong. As a comparative case study of public management reform, it should make a contribution to the literature of public management, public governance, public administration, and global studies by addressing many important questions.
The book addresses the heated debate of pubic management reform and globalization. It shows how the domestic context of a country does matter in influencing the adoption and outcome of public management reform.
