Public management: What do we know? what should we know? and how will we know it?

Laurence E. Lynn

Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, 1987, vol. 7, issue 1, 178-187

Abstract: The field of public management draws on a rich and varied trove of intellectual resources. Applying scholarship and imagination, its students can recognize, interpret, and predict the reality of managing governmental organizations with considerable acuity. If the field is to advance, however, researchers must do more than reverently assemble and digest practice wisdom. More emphasis must be placed on disciplined, theory-based inquiry.
