Taking a global approach to the issues administrators need to examine when managing a group of employees at any level (including budgeting and expenditures, forecasting, policy creation and execution, communication and reporting), this book explores the driving forces in organizational decision-making. Author Nicolas Valcik takes a holistic view on organizational management, beginning with the core aspects of public organization and the leadership competencies necessary to manage an organization successfully. Designed to be used on undergraduate and graduate courses in public administration and in public affairs programs, the book discusses the basics of organizational structure, delves into risk management issues, and offers a set of tools that can be used by administrators to make informed decisions based on actual data or documented processes. Throughout the book, real-world case studies provide students and practitioners with a clear understanding of how exactly the right decision tool may be applied when facing a particular decision in any organization. -- from back cover. 650 0 $a Public administration $x Decision making. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85108614 650 0 $a Administrative agencies $x Management. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85000902 650 0 $a Nonprofit organizations $x Management. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008108402 650 0 $a Strategic planning. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85128511 650 0 $a Decision making. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85036199 650 7 $a Administrative agencies $x Management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00796777 650 7 $a Decision making. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00889035 650 7 $a Nonprofit organizations $x Management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01038913 650 7 $a Public administration $x Decision making. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01081996 650 7 $a Strategic planning. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01134371 830 0 $a Public administration and public policy. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n42020055 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214022747.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CE39B7FAEC6A11E7AF65C16E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
