Over the past two decades, governments worldwide have been committed to a movement to transform their operational management. Citizens across nations have demanded smaller government, lower costs, higher efficiency, while also seeking more and better services. To address this dilemma, governments have experimented with various methods to increase their output, improve performance, and reduce costs. This book introduces the state of this transformation globally and serves as a reference for students and teachers of public administration.
