Book Description
By finelybook
Governments and nonprofits exist to create public value. Yet what does that mean in theory and practice?
This new volume brings together key experts in the field to offer unique,wide-ranging answers. From the United States,Europe,and Australia,the contributors focus on the creation,meaning,measurement,and assessment of public value in a world where government,nonprofit organizations,business,and citizens all have roles in the public sphere. In so doing,they demonstrate the intimate link between ideas of public value and public values and the ways scholars theorize and measure them. They also add to ongoing debates over what public value might mean,the nature of the most important public values,and how we can practically apply these values. The collection concludes with an extensive research and practice agenda conceived to further the field and mainstream its ideas.
Aimed at scholars,students,and stakeholders ranging from business and government to nonprofits and activist groups,Public Value and Public Administration is an essential blueprint for those interested in creating public value to advance the common good.
