Book Description
From the Prefatory Note: ...some 250 public service sector managers came together from April 23 to 23 1986, to reflect on the impact that contemporary changes in their environment were having on their work as managers. They were joined by a small number of academics, consultants and private sector managers. The conference consisted of plenary sessions on restraint, contracting out, information technology, public access to information, conflict of interest, risk taking, employment equity and political rights....The ninth and final plenary session was a panel discussion on the question of whether or not a new model was emerging for the public sector manager. What follows is a summary of the discussion at the conference and a collection of plenary and workshop papers around the nine themes.

Book Description
This title was first published in 2000: The management of public services is becoming an increasingly difficult task. Demands are increasing while funds appear to be decreasing, but quality of service must remain high. New services are required, demands have to be faced, activities don't always go according to plan and problems emerge in unexpected places and at unusual times; and public managers are expected to deal with these deviations from their regular work patterns. While some activities are concrete in nature and can be seen, such as medical care and education, others are obscured from public view. With governments emphasizing areas that produce visible and quantifiable results, they often neglect the intangible services that must also be provided to the public. Poor performance in these areas can contribute to major crisi in public organizations. This volume examines four case studies in the context of the changing political and social environment of the new Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. The use of these cases from the public sector in Hong Kong will hopefully help readers to understand the difficulties faced by modern governments in providing basic services to the public.
