~~158,34€~~ 142,51€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <p>"This powerful collection shows that ‘public value’ has come of age… Its reach has extended far beyond the Anglosphere from which it has emerged. And it provides a prism for strategic thinking about how governments are to deal with the grittiness of the contexts and challenge they currently face. This must-read volume sits at the cutting edge of these important developments."</p><p>— <strong>Paul’t Hart</strong>, Professor of Public Administration, Utrecht University, The Netherlands</p><p>"Challenges to Public Value Creation is a wonderful addition to the growing literature on public value creation."</p><p>— <strong>John M. Bryson</strong>, McKnight Presidential Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota, USA</p><p>"The purpose of government is to create public value. While this has become an increasingly accepted refrain in public policy, administration, and management, numerous questions remain about where, when, why, how, and by whom public value is created. With everything from philosophical and conceptual arguments to empirical analyses and cases the contributors to this noteworthy volume.... offer new ideas, reveal important insights, suggest exciting directions for research and practice, and ultimately give more substance and shape to the idea of public value creation."</p><p>— <strong>Tina Nabatchi</strong>, Director, Program for the Advancement of Research on Confl ict & Collaboration, Syracuse University, USA</p><p>This volume examines fundamental questions about the public value of public decisions. More specifi cally, it seeks to assess whether all public decisions create public value, if it is possible to know what value for the public as a whole a government decision will create, and how government offi cials can justify their decisions in terms of public value. Leading experts bring a diverse array of perspectives on the normative, epistemological, and processual challenges to identifying, describing, measuring, and evaluating the public value claims that public offi cials often articulate in defending their decisions, and the results that citizens often seek. The book will appeal to scholars and students of public policy and public administration.</p><p><strong>Brian J.

Performance Management At Universities - The Danish Bibliometric Research Indicator At Work

de Niels Opstrup e Poul Erik Mouritzen

59,61€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <div><div>"Mouritzen and Opstrup''s book is a most welcome addition to the subject of the management of academic performance. It is certainly well-worth reading and considering."</div><div>—Bruno S. Frey, Permanent Visiting Professor at the University of Basel and Research Director CREMA - Center for Research in Economics, Management and the Arts, Switzerland</div><div><br></div><div>"<i>Performance Management at Universities</i> could not possibly be more timely. With universities and university faculty throughout the world being pressed to give more evidence and more precise indicators about their productivity, this thoughtful contribution provides a much needed and unusually thoughtful analysis of the possibilities and pitfalls found in current approaches to university performance evaluation. Given policy-makers’ and politicians’ calls for evidence-based management and evaluation, let us hope that policy-makers heed their own rhetoric and act on the evidence provided here. The authors show that performance measures, while sometimes beneficial, are subject to gaming and manipulation and that more precision does not necessarily equate with better performance, but rather altered performance. This superb book should be read by anyone interested higher education evaluation as well as by those who are subjected to it."</div><div>—Barry Bozeman, Regents'' Professor, Arizona Centennial Professor of Technology Policy and Public Management, School of Public Affairs, Arizona State University, USA</div><div><br></div><div>"In <i>Performance Management at Universities</i>, Mouritzen and Opstrup definitively answer the question: What are the effects of national university performance-based funding schemes that use bibliometric indicators? As these schemes have proliferated, the question has become urgent. The authors marshal comprehensive data on the Danish university system to sift through the many predictions commonly made by academics newly subject to these systems to identify what actually happened to Danish research as the system took hold."<br></div><div>—Diana Hicks, Professor, School of Public Policy, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, and first author on the Leiden Manifesto on research metrics</div></div><div><br></div><div>This book gives an account of what can happen when performance management is introduced at universities. How do scholars - for better or worse - respond to a system which counts the number of articles and books? Many myths exist about scholar’s reactions: They cheat, slice their production to the least publishable unit, become more risk averse and will go for the low-hanging fruits; in short, they develop a "taste for publication" at the cost of a "taste of science". Systematic knowledge about the consequences of such systems for the motivation, behavior and productivity of university scholars is in short supply. The book is a major contribution to remedy this situation.</div>
