"The Starling text can be described as the flagship of the textbooks on managing the public sector.... In each chapter, the student is guided through several concepts and definitions against a backdrop of real life people and events.... The case studies provide students with provocative material for deliberation and raise their awareness of the nuances and subtleties of the public sector."  Be the first to write a customer review
