Qualitative Management Systems for Improved Public Service Delivery
Issues of public service efficiency, cost, and effectiveness have moved to the forefront of national planning and political debate.
This programme applies the latest thinking from management and organisation studies to the performance of public organisations in order to evaluate the merits of different mechanisms for driving improvement in the public sector.
Research in management and organisation studies of the private sector has identified a number of ‘drivers’ of improved performance, including innovation, organisational culture, leadership and strategic planning. Many of these ‘private sector’ characteristics have emerged within public sector organisations in recent years.
However, public managers face additional pressures, whether from regulators, constrained resources, or political interference. The programme captures each of these drivers in turn and assesses whether they lead to improvement in public services, and how.
