Managing for Results 2005 cover

The "managing for results" movement that began in the early 1990s has now reached adolescence and is creating new challenges for government managers. After spending years creating planning and performance-measuring systems, managers and policy makers now need to focus on how to use performance information to make data-driven decisions. Managing Results for 2005 describes—through a series of case studies—the progress being made in federal, state, and local governments in managing for results.

This book, sponsored by the IBM Center for the Business of Government, is a collection of nine reports on managing for results. The contributors-who include Carolyn J. Heinrich, Philip Joyce, Elaine Morley, Joseph S. Wholey, and Chris Wye-offer guiding principles for linking performance management to performance information and detailed case studies. * Public Administration *
Analyses and case studies describe the progress being made in federal, state, and local governments in managing for results - a movement that began in the early 1990s and uses the information gleaned from performance-measuring systems to make data-driven decisions. Chapters describe how the cultures of government agencies are changing to reflect results-oriented planning in their day-to-day operations. The contributors are academics and consultants in public policy and public administration. * Reference and Research Book News *
