SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"In this important new text, the viability of performance management in public sector organisations is systematically assessed across a number of international case studies. The book provides a framework through which models of performance management can be understood in terms of both their impact within a public sector organisation, and the effects that have been seen in countries with contrasting administrational contexts." "Managing Performance - International comparisons critically examines the effects of performance management models in the public sector, and assesses their future evolution. It is an important book for all students and researchers with an interest in management, public administration and public policy."--Jacket.
