Tools, Strategies, and Practices for Modern and Accountable Public Sector Management

The recent global financial and economic crisis has had surprising effects on several economies worldwide. This global event has promoted the discussion on how ethical, transparent, and rigorous the accountability of public sector institutions is. However, public manager accountability is translated into a vision that goes beyond its sphere of activity, demanding information on how public resources have been managed based on the maximization of social welfare and sustainable development. Tools, Strategies, and Practices for Modern and Accountable Public Sector Management is an essential reference source that discusses the process behind how public resources are managed as well as how they are coordinated to achieve collective success. Featuring research on topics such as corporate responsibility, fiscal accountability, and public administration, this book is ideally designed for researchers, managers, financial authorities, auditors, public managers, public administrators, regulatory authorities, accountants, professionals, and students involved with the accountability and reform of public management in local governments.

Public Enterprise Management And Privatisation

A number of public enterprise (PE) executives have long felt the need for a book which would provide necessary information and analysis of various dimensions of PE management and privatisation. The book provides at one place, a precise and authoritative account of the concept, policy, and analysis of major issues confronting PEs. Public ownership per se does not make PE performance sub-optimal. The operation of the Government system, of which PE is a sub-system, has not been conducive to performance. During the last six decades, inadequate political will and vested interests have come in the way of freeing PEs from excessive and throttling controls, and demoralising accountability. Not letting the managers manage with the freedom required in the liberalised and globalised set-up is the problem. The multifarious and complex managerial problems of PEs, which get compounded by faltering moves towards privatisation, cannot be wished away. These have been considered in the book at some length. The book, first published in 1980, continues to be a standard work on the subject. This latest edition has been revised by Dr. R.K.Mishra, Director, Institute of Public Enterprise,Hyderabad.

Public Relations Management

The current century has witnessed a tremendous spurt in media and technology, thus making the job of a PR practitioner more challenging, but at the same time interesting. Constant media exposure on matters -- social, economic political and corporate -- has resulted in people demanding more accountability from those who govern them and also those in the marketplace. The new age media has brought about a paradigm shift on the power of the pen. Is it the mainstream media or the citizen journalists and bloggers, who spare no time in expressing their views on everything under the sun? And this has made a definite difference to organisations, who have to be much more vigilant than before. Public Relations has come centre stage in lending advise on areas that did not traditionally fall in its purview, especially in care management, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility. Those who study and practice PR have to understand the dynamics of the changing media matrix and acquire skills on how to handle various media. It is hoped, the book will provide many new insights and hands-on-skills to both the students and young practitioners in pursuing their jobs more efficiently and vigorously.

Public Management

Thinking and Acting in Three Dimensions

Managing in the public sector requires an understanding of the interaction between three distinct dimensions—administrative structures, organizational cultures, and the skills of individual managers. Public managers must produce results that citizens and their representatives expect from their government while fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities. In Public Management: Thinking and Acting in Three Dimensions, authors Carolyn J. Hill and Laurence E. Lynn, Jr. argue that one-size-fits-all approaches are inadequate for dealing with the distinctive challenges that public managers face. Drawing on both theory and detailed case studies of actual practice, the authors show how public management that is based on applying a three-dimensional analytic framework—structure, culture, and craft—to specific management problems is the most effective way to improve the performance of America’s unique scheme of governance in accordance with the rule of law. The book educates readers to be informed citizens and prepares students to participate as professionals in the world of public management.
