Public Administration and Public Affairs by Nicholas Henry
Discussing the features of public administration, this work explores organization theory and behaviour in the public sector. It covers public policy and its implementation, and considers the evolution of ethics, offering alternative ethical constructs for use by the practicing public administrator. The work also explores Total Quality Management in government, government contracting, privatization, voluntarism and government corporations. The implications of the Government Performance Act of 1993 and recent developments in budgetary thinking including target base budgeting and cutback are also included.
