Book excerpt: The success of any Organization - be it a Private or a Public Sector Enterprise (PSE) depends, to a greater degree, on the strength of its decision-making structure. A timely and well-considered decision is like the spark that sets the machinery into motion. Thus, the importance of decision making needs to be appreciated and should not be undermined at any stage. However, in the case of PSE, the problem is compounded as decision making is found wanting practically at all levels. The due adherence to the laid down procedures and proper recording of the reason for the deviation, if any, is also cited as one of the important factors responsible for delay in PSEs. This could also be a result of the fear of vigilance or audit, inadequate data/MIS, no proper appraisal/analysis, etc. This book on 'Decision Making in Public Sector' by Shri I K Achplani can prove to be the guide that everyone is on a look out for. Shri Achplani has gathered varied experiences during his service career so far and has quite beautifully penned down his thoughts, ideas and suggestions in the form of a book. "Not only will it help the people who hold decision-making positions today, but this book is a good read even for those aspiring to reach these positions of decision-making in future." Mr. A K Chaudhary, Chairman, SAIL (A Maharatna PSE)

Download or read book Ethical Decision-Making written by Patricia A. Mitchell and published by Myers Education Press. This book was released on 2019-07-29 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides a unique collection of case studies across a wide range of organizations (higher education, K-12 education, military, state and local government administration, non-profit institutions, and agency management, etc.). These cases examine ethical decision-making and organizational and leadership behavioral concepts that are practiced in these organizations. The cases cover topics facing our workforce today and ask the reader to solve the dilemma. Through a discussion of these cases, students apply decision making and organizational and leadership strategies to analyze each case and therefore gain a better understanding of how to effectively lead and manage within their organizations. This text challenges students to think critically and analytically. Students are encouraged to reflect on options a practitioner could use to solve the problem. All of the cases end with an open scenario and a set of questions, allowing students to offer a wide range of opinions and participate in reflective and robust discussions. Perfect for courses such as: Introduction to Ethics | Introduction to Ethical Decision-Making | Principles of Ethical Leadership Ethical Organizations: Principles and Application | Introduction to Organizational Change

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This case study explored the engagement between federal leaders while implementing the evidence-based management framework to inform the best strategic decisions. The methodological approach applied intervention research (IR) with nexus analysis and interdiscursivity, examining the relationships of dual-process, critical thinking, and integrative complexity. The result of this study provides a value proposition for how to nudge those organizational decisions when supported by the best evidence. Such a reflective experiential learning lens proved beneficial, partially filling a void in the academic-practice research and suggesting an approach for the dedicated public sector practitioner pursuing the intention of those the federal statutes requiring data-informed, evidence-based outcomes in service to the interests of the American public.

Download or read book Organizational Public Relations written by Christopher Spicer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public relations practitioners are often called upon to help chart their organization's strategic development, thus functioning as managerial decision makers linking the organization to its larger environment. This book is about understanding organizations, especially the role played by organizational decision making in the development and implementation of public relations programs and activities. It emphasizes the ways in which an organization's culture and decision making processes ultimately influence the success or failure of their public relations efforts. The research, case studies, and author's interpretations and suggestions explore the often confusing netherworld of organizational mindsets -- particularly as those world views affect the organization's relations with clients and other stakeholders. Understanding organizational politics is the way to understanding how and why decisions are made by the organization's dominant coalition. The primary goal of this text is to enhance our understanding of the ways in which organizations "work" -- the political process that accompanies organizational decision making. As an instrumental participant in the organizational political process, the public relations practitioner must posess knowledge and understanding of the organization's political process in order to succeed within that organization. Given the need for public relations practitioners to form coalitions, negotiate consensus, and advocate organizational interests, the political system metaphor is most approriate for understanding the relationship between organizational power and organizational public relations. This book, then, "steps back" from a focus solely on the design of public relations programs, and instead examines how the impetus for those programs emerges within the organization as a result of organizational politics in action. Its special features include: * practitioner responses at the end of each chapter providing commentary on the usefulness of the ideas presented; * sidebars from popular sources illustrating theories; * new case studies; * merging of management and organizational theory and research with communication theory and research; * a focus on external stakeholders from both an advocacy and a collaborative frame resulting in the creation of a "collaborative advocacy" framework for external communication; and * an extended examination of ethical considerations pertaining to organizational decision making and communication.

Download or read book Public Management and Complexity Theory written by Mary Lee Rhodes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That public services exhibit unpredictability, novelty and, on occasion, chaos, is an observation with which even a casual observer would agree. Existing theoretical frameworks in public management fail to address these features, relying more heavily on attempts to eliminate unpredictability through increased reliance on measurable performance objectives, improved financial and human resource management techniques, decentralisation of authority and accountability and resolving principal-agent behaviour pathologies. Essentially, these are all attempts to improve the ‘steering’ capacity of public sector managers and policy makers. By adopting a Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) approach to public services, this book shifts the focus from developing steering techniques to identifying patterns of behaviour of the participants with the ultimate objective of increasing policy-makers’ and practitioners’ understanding of the factors that may enable more effective public service decision-making and provision. The authors apply a CAS framework to a series of case studies in public sector management to generate new insights into the issues, processes and participants in public service domains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Public Administration Casebook is a practice-based collection that speaks to the lived experience of students and prepares them to become more effective practioners of public and non-profit sectors by providing case studies arranged around major themes in public administration. Key Features: The 14 case studies are organized by main themes of public administration including political context of public administration, bureaucracy and organizational structure, organizational culture, leadership, human relations administration, budgeting, ethics, and decision making. Since they reflect actual experience, each case contains one or two secondary themes illustrating how the fundamental concepts and issues that students learn about function in concert in the real world. Students worked with the text authors to create, develop, and write each of these case studies so that the material better reflects current workplace realities and therefore results in a more meaningful learning experience for everyone. The focus on students provides a teaching case methodology that serves as an easily adaptable model for other instructors.

Two chapters by contributing authors on 1) Social equity and justice, covering contemporary challenges in the US, from police reform to voting rights and homelessness, and 2) Public budgeting, contrasting government fiscal efforts between two recessions, illuminating successes and failures with a case study on the federal government shutdown in 2019 over border wall funding.

A completely rewritten concluding chapter on leadership, followership, and leading teams with a discussion of destructive leadership types and a flipped case study on defining what leadership effectiveness is. Complete with a fully updated companion website containing instructor slides for each chapter, a chapter-by-chapter instructor’s manual and sample syllabus, student learning objectives, and self-test questions, Introducing Public Administration is the ideal introduction to the discipline for first year masters students, as well as for the growing number of undergraduate public administration courses and programs.

Download or read book The Design and Implementation of Business Process Reengineering in the Ethiopian Public Sector written by Tesfaye Debela and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2011 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996, the Ethiopian government introduced the Civil Service Reform Program (CSRP) to disentangle the intricacies of the old bureaucratic system, and to build a fair, responsible, efficient, ethical and transparent civil service that accelerates and sustains the economic development of the country. However, lack of competent personnel, prevalence of attitudinal problems and absence of a strong institutional framework constrained the success of the reform. To reinvigorate the CSRP, the Ethiopian government has been implementing BPR in public organizations since 2004. In this regard, there are claims and counter-claims on the effectiveness of BPR implementation in improving the performance of public organizations. Motivated by such claims, this research has assessed the design, challenges, implementation and outcome of BPR in four public organizations using questionnaires, interviews, observations and review of secondary sources.
