Description
Understanding and Improving Public Management Reforms by Thomas Elston A concise and practical study of public management reform, exploring how flawed policy design can lead to reform failure. Drawing on concepts from psychology, economics, and organisational sociology, this book reveals the importance of considering cognitive bias, social institutions, and 'quiet costs' in policy-making. The author argues that these factors are often overlooked in the implementation process, leading to poor track records for reforms. This multidisciplinary study provides varied examples and proposes new solutions to help reconceive the problem of public management reform. Written for policy professionals, service managers, students, and researchers, this book offers a fresh perspective on how to improve public management reforms and achieve better decision-making.
