About the Book

The last decade has seen dramatic changes in the public sector as political, technological, social and cultural developments have had varied and often far-reaching impacts. The pressure on public sector management is unlikely to slacken. In a new and changing environment, new solutions are expected for new and old problems. In Reforming the Public Sector the reader will find out how public sector managers find solutions to four kinds of problems: managing people; improving service to clients; managing money; and leading organisations. These solutions are actual real-life examples; the authors of each chapter are practicing managers or commentators with practical experience of the problem under consideration. Many of the case studies presented relate to the experience of the public sector in Victoria, the state recognised as a leader in public sector reform. Others come from wider afield-the federal public sector and those of New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Colin Clark is Professor of Accounting and Head of the Public Sector Research Unit at Victoria University of Technology. David Corbett is Emeritus Professor of Political Theory and Institutions at Flinders University and has been a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Public Policy, University of Melbourne since 1996.
