Description
Public organizations play a crucial role in our daily lives, and when these do not perform adequately there are severe societal consequences. Public management focuses on the practice of managing macro-, meso- and micro-level activities that enable or constrain public organizations to achieve their core purpose and create public value.
During this course students learn more about their own capacity as a future public manager, about essential definitions, models and concepts in public management, and about how public management helps public organizations perform better through cases and practical examples. The course also introduces students to the fascinating research field of public management.
This course is taught in English.
