Indeks : p. 187 - 191 Public sector organizations are fundamentally different to their private sector counterparts. They are multi-functional, follow a political leadership, and the majority do not operate in an external market. In an era of rapid reform, reorganization and modernization of the public sector, this book offers a timely and illuminating introduction to the public sector organization that recognizes its unique values, interests, knowledge and power-base. The book challenges conventional economic analysis of the public sector, arguing instead for a democratic-political approach and a new, prescriptive organization theory. A rich resource of both theory and practice, it is essential reading for anybody studying the public sector. Public Administration Organizational Sociology 10595/MKRI-P/XI-2008 10594/MKRI-P/XI-2008
