Abstract
This introductory chapter aims at presenting the discipline of managing public interests
and government entities (public administrations).
Managing private firms and managing public administration / government entities require
different approaches, tools and techniques; the goals of the two different types of institutions
are different and one size does not fit all.
The chapter presents the aims and values of government entities and the way public management
can be beneficial to measure the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of public
services. Some of the points highlighted here will also be discussed and analyzed by the
following chapters (Public finance, Public financial management, Management control
packages and Performance Measurement systems).
