PublicationMultirational management : Mastering conflicting demands in a pluralistic environmentMore and more organisations are confronted with an environment from which they receive contradictory demands and expectations. Big corporations have to conduct excellent, but also academically recognised, research; hospitals are no longer merely run according to the successes aspired to by health professionals, but also on the basis of economic valuation standards; and administrations and public companies are caught between government regulations and the market, and family businesses between the family and competition. To satisfy these different demands at the same time and on a permanent basis constitutes the central challenge of multirational management. This book explains the concept of multirational management and illustrates it with many practical examples. It has primarily been written for "reflective practitioners" and students. It offers a valuable foundation for learning to "read" pluralist organisations. Its perspective and terminology will enable members on pluralist organisations to better communicate.Type: book

PublicationCultural Aspects of Public Management ReformIn an international context, public management arrangements differ significantly from country to country, but also regionally and locally. One reason for these differences may be differences in culture resulting in differing views of the state and its institutions. This may sound trivial, but it becomes highly important when public management reform models are proposed and transferred from one country to others such as was (and still is) the case with, for example, the new public management. Scholars in public management as well as internationally acting practitioners should be aware of the impact culture has on the possibilities and limits of concept transfers between different jurisdictions. Having said this, one precondition for a better consideration of cultural elements in public management reforms is a better understanding of culture itself. Among the public management community, cultural theory has gained considerable attention. There are, however, other concepts for the analysis of cultural facts that may be of interest to the subject, too. In the book, cultural (including organizational culture of public organizations) influences on public management and its reform are explored. Articles address definitions and conceptualizations of culture in the context of public management, cultural artifacts in public management and gives examples of cultural elements in public management from various countries. The volume helps to structure the discussion of cultural elements and points out approaches to study and incorporate cultural aspects in public management research and debate.
