Preface
Nigeria is seriously engaged in
issues of development, attenuated by administrative hurdles which manifest
themselves variously the form of administrative incompetence, non-rational
decision-making strategies, non-coordinated policies which are poorly
implemented, as well as inappropriate application of administrative skills to
development objectives.
The
author attempted in this book to highlight the dominant, irritating and
contemporary themes associated with applying public administration to the
solution of current challenges facing modern complex societies.
Most
managers say that managing people is the most dynamic, challenging,
frustrating, and rewarding activity they face. People and the organizations
they work in are changing faster than ever before. We are all working harder,
facing increasing societal pressures for success, experiencing different types
of family pressures, and, as a total workforce, becoming more diverse than we
have ever been. Organizations are downsizing, merging with others, acquiring
each other, and becoming increasingly affected by world-wide factors. Managers
in every organization are looking for help in managing people and seeking new
definitions of what it means to manage. Their search for answers has fueled a
publishing boom in books on managing. Most
major popular business publications have prominent sections on managing in
almost every issue.
For
all the information available, only a very few laws or absolute principles
dictate proper conduct for organizational members or predict their behaviour
with certainty.
In
this book, Fundamentals of Public
Administration: An Applied Approach, some of the tools and insights
tomorrow’s managers and workers need to understand and analyze the
characteristics of human beings in organizational situations are provided. We
hope that this edition will be of some assistance in helping managers do this
most difficult of managerial tasks. We also hope that readers will share our excitement
and enthusiasm for the field of organizational behaviour. Our desire to provide
the most current material available sent us to the drawing board.
This
edition of the book maintains a comprehensive nature as it strives to provide
the most relevant material for current and aspiring managers while doing
justice to the classic topic on which current practice rests. We tried to
organize the materials around four major objectives: a strong student
orientation; contemporary contents; a real–world applied approach; and
effective pedagogy. We believe that instructors, students and other readers
will appreciate the direct and active style. We geared its language and writing
style to student readers, but in a way that does not sacrifice the
comprehensive coverage of the major classical and contemporary content.
Examples are cited so that students can see the applicability of the material
in a variety of organizational settings.
