The public sector involves a complex array of stakeholders and it can be difficult to gain strategic insight at all levels of the public sector. Strategy classes are growing in number and importance, as students and professionals seek a thorough understanding of public management and administration. Strategic Management in the Public Sector examines the application of strategic management concepts, theories and analytical techniques to give readers a critical understanding of the strategy process. Students will develop a set of managerial skills that will enable them to engage successfully in strategy processes and apply appropriate management tools pragmatically within their organization. This book offers a refreshing perspective on strategic management, making it essential for strategy elements of public management and public administration degrees, as well as an inspiring tool for practicing managers working in the public sector.
