    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This new edition of a classic text provides a wealth of material on the management and
    governance of the public sector, and explores the great shifts taking place in what is a
    hotly contested part of society in many regions of the world. Setting out the key
    theoretical perspectives on public management, this book will equip you with the key
    concepts and tools that you need to make sense of contemporary public management
    from different perspectives.

    Reflecting the latest issues and trends in public management and administration, this
    new edition offers:
    Examples from a wide range of countries.
    Increased analysis of the impact of authoritarianism and populism.
    Coverage of key topics, including strategic management, leadership, performance
    management, managing services and technology.
    More inclusion of evidence and evidence-based policy.
    Additional tables, figures and case study boxes offering the latest research insights.

    Suitable for use on courses around the world, and for those with no prior knowledge of
    the theory and practice of public management and administration, this fully revised sixth
    edition is the ideal point of reference for lecturers and students in the field.
