Description
This text presents a theoretical approach to the analysis of politics and decision making in public organizations. Using a "governance perspective" that focuses on the formal and informal structures of organizations, it presents ways of thinking about how organizations cope with uncertainty and controversy, provides illustrations from contemporary public administration and policy implementation, and suggests appropriate organizational responses to the types of problems public organizations often face. This book should be of interest to HND and degree courses in public administration.
