While public management has become widely spoken of, its identity and character is not well-defined. Such disparity is an underlying problem in developing public management within academia, and in the eyes of practitioners. In this book, Michael Barzelay tackles the challenge of making public management into a true professional discipline. Barzelay argues that public management needs to integrate contrasting conceptions of professional practice. By pressing forward an expansive idea of design in public management, Barzelay formulates a fresh vision of public management in practice and outlines its implications for research, curriculum development and disciplinary identity.

"Public management is emerging as a discipline separate from public administration. Public management, as distinguished from public administration, focuses on strategy rather than on managerial processes, on relations between organizations rather than within them, and on the intersection of public policy and management. Public Management: The State of the Art gathers leading researchers and theorists from various schools of interpretation to convey the latest theories and research and to explore what public management is and what it can be." "The authors assess the state of current public management theory, reveal the effectiveness and strategic dimensions of public management practice, and show how the discipline of public management interacts with policy design and politics. In addition, they examine the implications of technological innovation, including management information systems, and chart new directions for public management theory and research."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This Element explores the role of public managers as designers. Drawing from systems-thinking and strategic management, a process-tracing methodology is used to examine three design processes whereby public managers develop strategies for adapting to climate change, build the requisite capabilities and evaluate outcomes. Across three cases, the findings highlight the role of managers as 'design- oriented' integration agents and point to areas where additional inquiry is warranted. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
