Creating Public Value by Mark H Moore
Moore presents his summation of 15 years of research, observation, and teaching about what public-sector executives should do to improve the performance of public enterprises. This book explicates some of the richest cases used at Harvards Kennedy School of Government and illuminates their broader lessons for government managers.
If you haven’t been able to slip out to Harvard University’s John FKennedy School of Government for the latest in public management training, Mark Moore’s book…will bring you up to speed. * National Journal *
Basing extended and thoughtful analyses and comments on a series of cases in managing an assortment of federal, state, and local public agencies (libraries, the EPA, a department of child and youth services, a redevelopment agency, the Centers for Disease Control, a housing authority, and a police department), Kennedy School professor Mark Moore seeks to expand the traditional bureaucratic conceptions of public administration. * ARNOVA News *
[An] important argument to counter the image of the rigid bureaucrat, with case studies of youth services, a library, a redevelopment project, a police department, and a housing authority. * Future Survey *
This is at once the most broadly thoughtful and specifically useful book I’ve read in the field of public management. -- Hale Champion, former Undersecretary of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare
