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 *
