Knowledge and Power in Public Bureaucracies

Viac o knihe

The book delves into the reasons behind the failure of management reforms over the past century, focusing on the conflicting forms of knowledge within public bureaucracies. It explores how these contradictory perspectives interact, or often do not, and examines the mechanisms through which these systems maintain managerial control over work processes. By analyzing these dynamics, the author sheds light on the complexities of public management and the challenges that arise from internal contradictions.
