Summary:

Offering essential interpretations of the surge in recent literature on strategy and public management, this timely and insightful Handbook includes contributions from some of the key figures in the field, focusing on concepts such as strategic management, strategic planning, and strategizing for public purposes. Providing an in-depth examination of strategic public management as a key topic in public management and governance, this Handbook considers the interconnections between strategy, public value, and the state, and the challenges of strategizing collaborative governance. Chapters discuss the role of design-oriented practices in strategic public management, the rise of public innovation labs, business model innovation, and the financial dimension of strategy in the public sector. It also includes case studies from Australia, Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States, illustrating the effects of Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the growth of artificial intelligence on strategic public management. This stimulating Handbook will be essential reading for students and scholars in strategic management, public management, public administration, public policy and politics, and political science. It will also be beneficial for public managers, public administrators, strategizers, local, regional, and national politicians, and network managers.
