The Management of Change: Administrative Logistics and Actions

by Joseph W. Weiss

Overview

How do outside factors affect public administrators' decisions to make changes in their organizations? How do they manage those changes? The Management of Change answers these questions theoretically and empirically. In addition to providing a conceptual framework for public sector managers and administrative consultants, this unique book also presents real-life case studies, following actual administrators over a 20-year period and examining their decisions.
