This course introduces students to public management: the art and science of planning and implementing public programs. A key objective is to offer students a useful mix of theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on management as a function performed in all sectors (public, nonprofit, and private) but, when appropriate, participants focus on what factors make public management distinctive and more challenging. Some of the specific topics covered include: executive leadership; the role of front-line operators and middle managers; organizational culture; problems of bureaucratic coordination and dysfunction; how Congress, the President, and the courts attempt to control the public bureaucracy; managing people; managing budgets; privatization and contracting out; ethics in public management; performance management and strategic planning; and management reform strategies.
