Summary: Strategic management is widely seen as essential to the public services, leading to better performance and better outcomes for the public. In fact, the private sector idea of strategic management has become so powerful in the public sector that politicians and policy makers have begun to talk about the importance of the modern state being strategic - and we may be witnessing the emergence of the Strategic State. This book draws on experience and research from a range of countries and provides a theoretical understanding of strategic management that is grounded in the public sector.
