"Public Sector Strategy explores how strategic decisions are developed and implemented in the public sector, and examines the psychology underpinning strategic decision-making. Combining knowledge from traditional perspectives with contemporary insights on strategic management, this book considers how managers make their decisions and provides key concepts and practical tools to aid delivery of strategy within highly institutionalized settings. This book provides theoretical grounding, real-life global cases and practical examples of strategic decisions in an international public-sector context by working through the underpinnings of strategy, the influencing factors of strategic decision-making, strategic implementation, and strategic tools in practice.It should be a core textbook for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students studying Public Sector Strategy and Strategic Management more broadly. It will also be of benefit for public sector managers, consultants, and private sector organizations who wish to interact with the public sector"--

Public Sector Strategy explores how strategic decisions are developed and implemented in the public sector, and examines the psychology underpinning strategic decision-making. This book combines knowledge from traditional perspectives with contemporary insights on strategic management.

Recenzijas

"This book fills a much-needed gap in the market by combining strategic management and the public sector. Its uniqueness lies in the exploration of psychology within strategic decision making and extensive guidance to practitioners It builds upon the work of seminal authors and shows how theory derived from the private sector can be adapted to the public sector. It will be a valuable book to UG and PG students and public sector managers." Maria Mouratidou, Institute of Business, Industry & Leadership, University of Cumbria, UK

"The book provides a well-balanced coverage of theories and applications of strategy and strategic decision-making in the public sector. The authors explain the role of institutional, cognitive and behavioural processes in making strategic decisions. Case studies and tools like, for example, cognitive mapping and strategic workshops will help practitioners develop strategy in public sector organisations." Alberto Asquer, School of Finance and Management, SOAS University of London, UK
