Overview

Instructor Resources: PowerPoints, TestBank

Public Administration and Information Technology provides a foundational overview of the impact of information technology (IT) on modern public organizations. The focus is on what public managers need to know about managing IT to create more efficient, effective, and transparent organizations. This book is unique in that it provides a concise introduction to the subject area and leaves students with a broad perspective on the most important issues. Other books in the field either examine e-government, or are large reference volumes that are not easily accessible to most students. This textbook shows the practical application of IT to the most important areas of public administration.

Public Administration and Information Technology is ideal for use in traditional public administration courses on IT as well as management information systems courses in schools of business.

Divided into 3 parts, the book covers:
 
  • Public Organizations and Information Technology
  • Information Technology, Evaluation, and Resource Management
  • Emerging Issues in for Public Managers
