Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rush to Policy explores the appropriate role of technical analysis in policy formulation. The authors ask when and how the use of sophisticated analytic techniques in decision-making benefits the nation. They argues that these techniques are too often used in situations where they may not be needed or understood by the decision maker, where they may not be to answer the questions raised but are nonetheless required by law. House and Shull provide an excellent empirical base for describing the impact of politics on policies, policy analysis, and policy analysts. They examine cost-benefit analysis, risk analysis, and decision analysis and assess their ability to substitute for the current decision-making process in the public sector. They examine the political basis of public sector decision-making, how individuals and organizations make decisions, and the ways decisions are made in the federal sector. Also, they discuss the mandate to use these methods in the policy formulation process. The book is written by two practicing federal policy analysts who, in a decade of service as policy researchers, developed sophisticated quantitative analytic and decision-making techniques. They then spent several years trying to use them in the real world. Success and failures are described in illuminating detail, providing insight not commonly found in such critiques. The authors delineate the interaction of politics and technical issues. Their book describes policy analysis as it is, not how it ought to be. Peter W. House is the director of policy research and analysis at the National Science Foundation. He is the author of ten books on multidisciplinary science and technology policy research and analyses in government, private, and university sectors, including The Art of Public Policy Analysis and with Roger D. Shull, Regulatory Reform: Politics and the Environment and Regulations and Science: Management of Research on Demand. Roger D. Shull is a senior analyst at the Division of Policy Research and Analysis, National Science Foundation.

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)

Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Organisation and administration - Public administration, grade: 1,1, Free University of Berlin (Otto-Suhr-Institut), language: English, abstract: The paper is divided in two main parts. The first part introduces the agency theory and its application to two relevant aspects: the agency theory in the public sector and the agency theory involving artificial agents. The second part aims at providing answers to the research questions, by discussing the changes in the agency of the public administrations, as well as the changes in the control methods used to monitor these administrations. Finally, the conclusion summarizes the answer to the research questions, exposes the implications and limits of this paper and offers leads for possible future research on this topic. Automated decision-making (ADM), a type of algorithm which supports decision-making and combines advanced analytics and data minig to make predictions, has been developed in various public sector fields, from predictive policing to healthcare, and is increasingly helping public agents by delivering analysis that they can leverage to make their decisions. This technique involves three main stakeholders: the programmer of the algorithmic system; the user, who is the public agent operating the ADM system; and the individuals affected by the decisions made using ADM. This paper focuses on the consequences on the governance and responsibility of administrations increasingly relying on algorithms to make their decisions. Does the introduction of ADM in public administrations transform their agency? If so, why does this change occur and how does it impact the control methods required to supervise the actions of administrations? The chosen approach is the agency theory, which is suited to deal with delegation, specifically between actors from different contextual backgrounds. France has been chosen as the case-study for this topic, as it has put in place relevant laws and public institutions in order to deal with public ADM. The method chosen to investigate this issue is based on a literature review, as it is appropriate to approach a case-study. This includes scientific papers for the technical aspects, from computer sciences to social and political sciences, as well as reports from governments, international institutions and private companies. More general literature, such as articles and blog posts are used for information on the use of ADM in France and the public debate surrounding it. Finally, the methodology also includes semi-structured interviews led with experts working on the topic of ADM in the public sector.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problems arising from the existence of asymmetric information in public decision making have been widely explored by economists. Most of the traditional analysis of public sector activities has been reviewed to take accountofthe possible distortions arising from an asymmetric distribution of relevant information among the actors of the public decision-making process. A normative approach has been developed to design incentive schemes which tackle adverse selection and moral hazard problems within public organisations: our understanding of these problems is now much better, and some of the mechanisms designed have had important practical implications. While this analysis is still under way in many fields of public economics, as the papers by Jones and Zanola, and Trimarchi witness, a debate is ongoing on the possible theoretical limitations ofthis approach and on its actual relevance for public sector activities. This book encompasses different contributions to these issues, on both theoretical and practical areas, which were firstly presented at a conference in Catania. The innermost problem in the current discussion arises from the fact that this normative analysis is firmly rooted in the complete contracting framework, with the consequence that, despite the analytical complexities of most models, their results rely on very simplified assumptions. Most complexities of the organisation of public sector, and more generally, of writing "contracts", are therefore swept away.

Book excerpt: Public Sector Strategy explores how strategic decisions are developed and implemented in the public sector, and examines the psychology underpinning strategic decision-making. Combining knowledge from traditional perspectives with contemporary insights on strategic management, this book considers how managers make their decisions and provides key concepts and practical tools to aid delivery of strategy within highly institutionalised settings. This book provides theoretical grounding, real-life global cases, and practical examples of strategic decisions in an international public-sector context by working through the underpinnings of strategy, the influencing factors of strategic decision-making, strategic implementation, and strategic tools in practice. It should be a core textbook for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students studying public sector strategy and strategic management more broadly. It will also be of benefit for public sector managers, consultants, and private sector organisations who wish to interact with the public sector.
