Public Sector Management in a Globalized World

This volume reflects on the consequences of the increasingly globalized nature of our world for public sector management. Globalization has triggered rapid growth in trade, global financial transactions and cross-country ownership of economic assets. The implications of these multifaceted processes for the welfare of today's and tomorrow's societies are unclear. What is clear, however, is that an increasing number of problems are too complex to be tackled solely at the level of national states. As a result, the size, functions and modi operandi of the public sector in a globalized world are emerging topics in academia and practice.ContentsMythology of Public Sector Management in a Globalized WorldModified Collaboration Between Different State LevelsChanges in Funding Procedures and Citizen ParticipationChallenge for Public Service Providers to Position Themselves in a Globalized EnvironmentPressures on Public Entities to Demonstrate Public Value CreationTarget GroupsResearchers and students in the fields of public and nonprofit managementPractitioners in these areasThe EditorsProf. Dr. René Andeßner (Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria - JKU), Prof. Dr. Dorothea Greiling (JKU) and Prof. Dr. Rick Vogel (University of Hamburg, Germany) are distinguished scholars in the areas of public and nonprofit management.
