A practical introduction to Public Management will have a vocational approach; the text would be accessible and practice-based, whilst also embedding knowledge of relevant theories and principles that underpin the operational elements of the public sector profession. This book would be supportive to students grounding in the subject area both theoretically and practically, with the right balance across those elements. A practical introduction to Public Management would actively build skills and knowledge-base, and a real-life understanding, to prepare the student for progression through the undergraduate students, leading to employment in the public sector.
