Strategy Formation And Policy Making In Government by Jan-erik Johanson, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This book explores goal-oriented action and describes the variety of options offered by strategic management in guiding public organisations. The book is based on the idea that planning is only one option in orienting the functioning of public organisations and applies resource-based and network studies to the public sector. Whilst most of the existing literature on strategic management relates to local government, this book examines developments within central governments and public agencies external to government hierarchies. The book also addresses the strategic distinction between politics and administration often neglected by existing research, and illustrates the connection between goal setting and actual performance of government organisations. | Strategy Formation And Policy Making In Government by Jan-erik Johanson, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
