Sommario/riassunto

Provides step-by-step guidance on implementing and using a value-based management system within the government  Countless books on proposed management practices have been written and published over the past century. Some of these have focused on specific management practices for government. In more recent decades, the topics of strategic planning, performance management, cost management and risk management have been extensively covered.
