Book Synopsis Public Management: Policy making, ethics and accountability in public management by : Stephen P. Osborne
Download or read book Public Management: Policy making, ethics and accountability in public management written by Stephen P. Osborne and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2002 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, the public sector has been undergoing major changes throughout the Western industrialized world, the transitional economies of central and Eastern Europe, Latin America and South East Asia. The main thrust of these changes has been to bring public sector management practices closer to those of the private sector. This raises the question of how far public and private sector management are comparable. This set examines the relationships between public sector and private sector management in terms of both classical management theory and the new public management that emerged in the 1980s and 1990s. While the collection concentrates on articles from the last 20 years, some historical pieces are also included. The four volumes are arranged along the following lines: volume 1 - for and against the public sector; volume 2 - managing the plural state; volume 3 - broadening the public management perspective; and volume 4 - from policy to practice in public services.
Book Synopsis Voluntary Organizations and Innovation in Public Services by : Stephen P. Osborne
Download or read book Voluntary Organizations and Innovation in Public Services written by Stephen P. Osborne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The innovative capacity of voluntary organizations has become a touchstone for their role in providing public services. Across the world there are increasing pressures on voluntary organizations to improve the quality and effectiveness of public services through innovation and change. This volume uses original research to assess the innovative capacity of voluntary organizations. It provides: * a conceptual framework for understanding the innovative capacity of voluntary organizations * empirical evidence detailing the nature and extent of innovation * an analysis of successful innovators in personal social services * the applicability of the for-profit model of innovation to non-profit organizations * an account of the contingent nature of voluntary organizations' relationship to their external environment and particularly their main funders. The development of a theory of innovation in non-market and nonprofit conditions makes this volume an important addition to organizational studies literature.

Book Synopsis Strategy Mix for Nonprofit Organisations by : Annette E. Zimmer
Download or read book Strategy Mix for Nonprofit Organisations written by Annette E. Zimmer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many countries, particularly in continental Europe, societies have been plagued by high unemployment for several decades. Simultaneously, due to recent shifts from industrial to service-oriented post-industrial societies, labor as a significant culture code is increasingly loosing importance. Because of this, the third or voluntary sector as a place of employment and as a service agency to society has become important for Europe as indicated by the 1997 Communication of the European Commission and various declarations by the European Parliament and the EU's Economic and Social Council. Strategy Mix for Nonprofit Organizations: Vehicles for Social and Labor Market Integration explores the role of the third sector in Europe, where unemployment is high and in North America, where unemployment is rising and exploring the "gaps" that the third sector is fulfilling: both as a social service and as an employer. The volume is organized into two distinctive parts. Part 1: The Nonprofit-Sector and Social Integration highlights the embeddedness of the sector in selected countries; it discusses how the sector is currently affected by changes of public policy particularly in the traditional social-democratic welfare state regimes, and it draws our attention to the sector's potentials to provide avenues for social integration, self-actualization and civic empowerment. Part 2: Labor Concepts and Market Integration refers to the multifunctionality of third sector organizations discussing potentials of workplace as well as community involvement via nonprofit organizations. This seminal volume will be of interest to those in the nonprofit sector, organizational management and economics, political scientists and other researchers working with nonprofit organizations and civil society studies on an international level.
Book Synopsis Rediscovering Voluntary Action by : C. Rochester
Download or read book Rediscovering Voluntary Action written by C. Rochester and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volunteering and voluntary organizations have become increasingly important in British social and political life but at a cost.

Book Synopsis Administering welfare reform by : Henman, Paul
Download or read book Administering welfare reform written by Henman, Paul and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2006-03-22 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While reforms of welfare policies have been widely analysed, the reform of welfare administration has received far less attention. Using empirical case studies, this book provides significant new insights into the way welfare administration is being internationally transformed. Particular attention is given to the effect on welfare clients, staff and agencies. Administering welfare reform presents a critical analysis of governance practices in welfare administration and examines shifts in the participants, practices and processes of welfare administration. It presents original empirical case studies that highlight the effects of reforming welfare governance on welfare subjects, staff and agencies and provides a much-needed international and comparative perspective of changing welfare governance. This book is aimed at scholars and advanced students of sociology, social policy, economics, public administration and management, as well as social policy practitioners and service delivery workers.
Book Synopsis Privatization in Four European Countries by : Ralph M. Kramer
Download or read book Privatization in Four European Countries written by Ralph M. Kramer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has a dual focus: on how four countries use voluntary non-profit organizations to provide services to the physically, mentally, and sensorially handicapped; and on the changing role of the voluntary, or "third," sector in welfare states. At the same time, it is also a comparative study of privatization in the special sense of using nongovernmental organizations to implement public policy. Most comparative studies of the welfare state have neglected this form of "indirect public administration" because researchers have usually conceived of government as monolithic and consequently overlook the frequent separation of financing from the delivery of public services.
