The book is based on the idea that planning is only one option in orienting the functioning of public organisations and applies resource-based and network studies to the public sector. Whilst most of the existing literature on strategic management relates to local government, this book examines developments within central governments and public agencies external to government hierarchies. The book also addresses the strategic distinction between politics and administration often neglected by existing research, and illustrates the connection between goal setting and actual performance of government organisations. Jan-Erik Johanson is Professor and Chair of Administrative Sciences at the University of Tampere, Finland. As well as strategic management, his recent research interests include hybrid organisations, innovation in regional networks, power relations in pension funds, and the determinants of efficiency in teams in projects funded by the Academy of Finland. He is currently vice-director of a research project studying performance of hybrid organisations.Political planningPolitical scienceExecutive powerEconomic policyPublic administrationPublic PolicyGovernance and GovernmentExecutive PoliticsEconomic PolicyPublic AdministrationPolitical planning.Political science.Executive power.Economic policy.Public administration.Public Policy.Governance and Government.Executive Politics.Economic Policy.Public Administration.320.6320.6Johanson Jan-Erikauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1065260BOOK9910338049703321Strategy Formation and Policy Making in Government2544243UNINA
