Public Sector Reforms in Developing Countries (eBook, ePUB)

Paradoxes and Practices
Redaktion: Conteh, Charles; Huque, Ahmed Shafiqul

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The ability to manage government departments and operations has become less important than the ability to navigate the complex world of interconnected policy implementation processes. Public sector reform policies and programmes, as a consequence, are a study in the complexities of the institutional and environmental context in which these reforms are pursued. Building on theory and practice, this book argues that advancing the theoretical frontlines of development management research and practice can benefit from developing models based on innovation, collaboration and governance.
