| Summary |
Australian Public Sector Management is a primary textbook on public administration and management, yet its style and appreciation of the practical issue make it a standard for the public sector manager. Blending theory and practice, David Corbett covers the critical problems facing the public sector at the federal, state and local levels. After introducing the framework of government and its stakeholders, he explores strategic planning and budgeting, guiding and managing people, accountability and ethics, funds management, performance evaluation and, uniquely, decision making theory. This second edition offers new chapters on privatisation, regulation and the increasingly important issue of international public sector cooperation and structures |
