Roosevelt was inaugurated in March 1933, the White House staff numbered fewer than fifty people. In the ensuing years, as the United States became a world power and both the foreign and domestic duties of the president grew more complex, the White House staff has increased twentyfold. This books asks how best to manage a presidency that itself has become a bureaucracy. In the third edition of Organizing the Presidency, Stephen Hess, with the assistance of James P. Pfiffner, surveys presidential organizations from Roosevelt#65533;#65533;s to George W. Bush#65533;#65533;s, examining the changing responsibilities of the executive branch jobs and their relationships with one another, Capitol Hill, and the permanent government. He also describes the kinds of people who have filled these positions and the intentions of the presidents who appointed them. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xStaff 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1933-1945 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1945-1989 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1989- 615 0$aPresidents$xStaff. 676 $a352.2/0973 700 $aHess$b Stephen$0675800 701 $aPfiffner$b James P$0780510 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911109553903321 996 $aOrganizing the Presidency$94760655 997 $aUNINA LEADER 07330nam 2200553 a 450 001 9911131927903321 005 20251116181739.0 010 $a1-61668-078-4 035 $a(CKB)2550000001042466 035 $a(EBL)3020225 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000860829 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12325157 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000860829 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10915538 035 $a(PQKB)10433697 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3020225 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3020225 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10676356 035 $a(OCoLC)847617112 035 $a(BIP)22734971 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001042466 100 $a20080624d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aSourcing of services /$fLydia Bals and Evi Hartmann 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aNew York $cNova Science Publishers$dc2008 215 $a1 online resource (127 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a1-60456-933-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p.

As companies have outsourced and continue to outsource (part of) their service provision, sourcing has gained importance as a field of interest, both from a practical and academic perspective. This book gives an updated perspective on the topic of sourcing services as well as insights into the current state-of-the-art in practice by means of the case company examples. 606 $aContracting out 615 0$aContracting out. 676 $a658.4/058 700 $aBals$b Lydia 701 $aHartmann$b Evi 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911131927903321 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02539nam 2200589Ia 450 001 9911151592003321 005 20251117082355.0 010 $a0-8018-9831-5 035 $a(CKB)2550000000010482 035 $a(EBL)3318547 035 $a(OCoLC)923194801 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3318547 035 $a(UkBuK)1234611 035 $a(UkBuK)827983 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000010482 100 $a20090520d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aPursuing power and light $etechnology and physics from James Watt to Albert Einstein /$fBruce J.
