Drawing on the latest theory and research this text provides a fresh look at foresight, analysis, strategic choice, implementation and evaluation. This book also offers original and detailed case studies based on up to date evidence from different public sector settings, helping the reader to build on their understanding of theories and concepts presented earlier in the book.Strategic Management for the Public Sector has been written specially for managers and students taking postgraduate courses such as MBAs and MPAs.
