Public Sector Managerial Effectiveness: Theory and Practice in the National Health Service

The authors assert that "effectiveness" is a subjective concept, and that good managerial practice must be defined within context of the organization. They examine both public and private sector perspectives, the links between individual and organization, managerial development and effectiveness contrasted with organizational models, review systems, and strategies for the future. Though prompted by the health care privatization effort in Britain, the book's focus tends to treat organizational issues in a broad context. Distributed by Taylor & Francis.
