Description and Table of Contents

Description

This updated and expanded edition of "The Effective Public Manager" shows managers how to meet the new challenges of public management head-on rather than simply working around the constraints of government. Cohen and Eimicke provide guidance for today's public manager who aspires to tackle the problems of managing public institutions in a proactive, aggressive way - and so become the kind of manager who is able to shape events rather than be shaped by them.
