Product Description

Product Description

A companion website is available for this text

`Norman Flynn's excellent book has long been the publication of choice as a core text on public management. The new edition continues this tradition and is to be warmly welcomed' - Stephen Osborne, Aston Business School

`Norman Flynn's Public Sector Management has established itself as a definitive source for anyone interested in the changing forms and fortunes of public services. This latest edition continues the high standards of combining comprehensive coverage with critical reflection in a lucid and accessible style.'

John Clarke, Open University

The Fifth Edition of this popular book has been fully revised and updated to include the latest research and comment on changes in public sector management and two new chapters on Public-Private Partnerships and Privatisation and Regulation. Maintaining its highly accessible yet analytical style, this book examines in detail the major management issues of strategy, competition, co-operation and collaboration, service design and delivery, people management, organisational structures, financial management and the management of performance.

This new edition includes extra features to assist students using the book: each chapter will include a new summary-introduction and a list of sources, including reading and weblinks, for students writing assignments. In addition there is a website, which will be updated annually, containing updated sources, updated tables and links to government departments and other sites useful for students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Public Management Review, 30 Oct 2003
By A Customer
It is obvious that any academic book appearing as a fourth edition must be meeting the desires and aspirations of its market. The first edition of Norman Flynn’s Public Sector Management was published in 1990 and that this fourth edition is published twelve years later is evidence of real success. It is easy to see how Flynn has met what his audience wants. Public Sector Management is described in the introduction as ‘a book about management in the public sector in the United Kingdom’. This is its brief, its ambit and its ambition. There are lots of facts and figures about the public sector in that country. The book aims to help ‘anyone in the public sector to understand and cope with the recent changes, and places them in the context of the development of the welfare state’. This it does and this it does well.

a study book that I found hard to absorb at times. But other members of the group found it most satisfactory.
