While public management has become widely spoken of, its identity and character are not well-defined. Such disparity is an underlying problem in developing public management within academia and in the eyes of practitioners. In his new book, "Public Management as a Design-Oriented, Professional, Discipline,” Michael Barzelay tackles the challenge of making public management into a true professional discipline.
On Tuesday, October 15th, Barzelay, a Professor of Public Management at the London School of Economics, presented his new book at the Ash Center. He was joined by Hannah Riley Bowles, Roy E. Larsen Senior Lecturer in Public Policy and Management at Harvard Kennedy School.
