Public Management in Transition


Book Description

In the debate over how best to manage public administration and welfare institutions, there exists a great tension between calls to control and calls to generate change. Public Management in Transition takes on this tension, providing an overview of important pathways for implementing innovation in public organization and, through it, the management of governments. Following an analysis of large-scale societal changes, chapters explore the effects these changes have on central public administrations, individual welfare institutions, the management of individuals themselves (both as employees and citizens), and finally how these effects might foment transformations of the form of the state. With text boxes highlighting examples, key concepts, and reflection points from the fields of education, health care, social work, ecology, foreign aid, and political science, Public Management in Transition will appeal to academics, practitioners, and students across a range of disciplines.




The Future of Human Resources


Book Description

Warp speed change is now a constant. What do organizations need to do to maximize the potential of their employees in the new reality? The tired cliché that employees are our greatest asset is false. It’s unlocking the potential of employees that’s the greatest asset. THE FUTURE OF HUMAN RESOURCES confronts the conventional employment practices of selecting, inducting, developing, rewarding, and exiting employees. This book is a comprehensive blueprint for HR professionals to make the necessary changes to accommodate a new mentality. Thirteen traditional practices are challenged, and fresh, practical pathways offered. Dr. Tim Baker, according to leadership guru, Marshall Goldsmith, is “one of today’s most influential HR experts.” He offers new insights about what’s still considered conventional wisdom, such as employee induction, the job description, and succession planning. THE FUTURE OF HUMAN RESOURCES provides you with a roadmap to navigate the post-Covid world of work.
