Management Change in Local Governance

Year: 1999

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: This chapter discusses findings from research into management change in local governance. Its distinctive contribution to the literature on management change lies in: linking levels of analysis, through an exploration of change in management ideas, management within individual organisations, and the management of interorganisational networks; analysing the political implications of management change, through an exploration of consequences for local citizenship and democracy; developing new theoretical tools for analysing management change, through an exploration of the utility of ‘new institutionalism’.
