Reviews

This book fills a much-needed gap in the market by combining strategic management and the public sector. Its uniqueness lies in the exploration of psychology within strategic decision making and extensive guidance to practitioners It builds upon the work of seminal authors and shows how theory derived from the private sector can be adapted to the public sector. It will be a valuable book to UG and PG students and public sector managers. Maria Mouratidou, Institute of Business, Industry & Leadership, University of Cumbria, UK The book provides a well-balanced coverage of theories and applications of strategy and strategic decision-making in the public sector. The authors explain the role of institutional, cognitive and behavioural processes in making strategic decisions. Case studies and tools like, for example, cognitive mapping and strategic workshops will help practitioners develop strategy in public sector organisations.
