Samenvatting

Exploring Public Sector Strategy

The public sector in many countries remains a major sector of the economy in terms of both employment and provision of services. But in the last 15 years it has undergone a revolution in structure, performance and management thinking. Exploring Public Sector Strategy, the latest book in the Exploring Corporate Strategy series, explores how strategic management theory and practice is applicable to public sector organisations.

Designed to complement and extend the ideas in Johnson and Scholes' Exploring Corporate Strategy, leading contributors explore the critical issues in strategy as applied to the public sector. In turn they also demonstrate what strategic managers in other sectors can learn from the public sector.

In addition to providing a comprehensive treatment of this area, the book:
Provides a wealth of public sector examples for use in teaching
Is fully up-to-date with changes in the sector, including the best value Initiative, clinical governance and the impact of information technology
Has an international focus with an entire chapter devoted to the important topic of global influences on the public sector.

Contributing authors include: John Alford, Nardine Collier, Frank Fishwick, Jan Eppink, Steven de Waal, Ray Puffitt, Les Prince, Simon Speller, Mik Wisniewski, David Herbert, Kevan Scholes, Eleanor Doyle, Richard Butler, Jaz Gill, Sandra Hill, Barbara Harrington, Kevin McLoughlin, Duncan Riddell, John McAuley, Tom Forbes and Gerry Johnson.
