Résumé : Strategic Management in Public Organizations: European Practices and Perspectivesoffers the first wide-ranging survey and assessment of strategic-management practices at various levels of government and public service in European coun- tries. It shows that strategic management is much more than a management tool imported from the private sector—it has become a key element of public manage- ment reforms, and European governments at all levels are developing strategic- state characteristics.Written by leading European experts on strategic management in the public sector and in government, this book presents evaluations and analysis based on empirical investigations. The book covers strategic management at different lev- els of government, explores the roles of different players and incorporates theory and practice, with opening and concluding chapters that provide an overview of strategic management in the public services and a cross-societal discussion of strategic-state capabilities and insights from the chapters.
