{"product_id":"9781506316307","title":"Public Management: Thinking and Acting in Three Dimensions","description":"\u003cp\u003eManaging 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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In \u003cstrong\u003ePublic Management: Thinking and Acting in Three Dimensions,\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e  ","brand":"SAGE Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146043736304,"sku":"9781506316307","price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781506316307_p0.jpg?v=1763720645","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781506316307","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
