Based on a comprehensive study of four federal agencies--including interviews with over 100 public managers-- How Do Public Managers Manage? is a richly detailed analysis of the effect of organizational culture on managers' behavior. Offers a practical understanding of how government managers solve problems, manage personnel, and plan in the face of bureaucratic constraints. Using numerous examples and insightful stories, the book also reveals the range of methods that managers find to operate within or to circumvent these constraints.
