Description
Emphasizes the contexts in which public managers manage; how managers of the "public good" get things done in practice. Contexts include both intra- and inter-organizational systems and settings. Getting things done through influence (without formal authority) and inter-organizational networks are addressed as well as, for example, management skills and/or management survival skills within public bureaucracies. The course addresses aspects of management policy, but not issues of public policy analysis or formation.
