Praise for the Previous Editions
"The third edition of the classic text provides a comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of research on public organizations and management. Drawing on a review of the most current research about government organizations and managers, this important source offers specific suggestions for managing these challenges in today's public organizations."
— Abstracts of Public Administration
"A masterful textbook, as well as an important and original contribution to the public organization theory literature ? both comprehensive in its treatment of organization theory and decidedly 'public' in its perspective."
—Public Administration Review
"A tremendous contribution to the field. Rainey's ability to synthesize research streams from a variety of fields—such as political science, public administration, public policy, business administration, psychology, sociology, and others—is outstanding."
—Jeffrey L. Brudney, Albert A. Levin Chair of Urban Studies and Public Service, Cleveland State University
