Features: The writing of this book by Comrade Yang Weize is essentially a theoretical reflection on the practical experience he has engaged in public management. From it, one can discover the embodiment of scientific development concept and scientific performance concept in public management. As a scholar writing a preface for a work he believes is worth recommending, it is not just about writing some flattering words here, but also about expressing some views on the title of this book. Inspired by the content of this book, I would like to share a few perspectives on government reform and the functions of public management during China's transformation period. First is the transformation of government functions, especially that of local governments. Second is how the government should implement its economic development functions at the current stage. Third is the strengthening of the government's social management and public service functions. Fourth is the scientific evaluation of government performance. Lastly, it is particularly important to highlight the significance of this book's publication for university students majoring in public management. Studying public management in university is basically still learning from textbooks in the classroom. The acquisition of public management knowledge requires practice. This book is a summary of years of experience in public management practice by a diligent and thoughtful local government official, featuring case studies as well as theoretical reflections. Therefore, this book can serve as an important reference for public management students.
