Ever since Max Weber and Frederick Taylor, public organizations have been told that effective practice lies in maximizing rationality through science. Yet science-based management reforms have had only marginal impact on performance. People in entry-level positions possess knowledge from direct experience of the work, management knowledge is often science-based and distanced from the work, and appointed top executives struggle to join bureaucratic rationality with political exigencies. Knowledge and Power in Public Bureaucracies: From Pyramid to Circle offers fresh thinking about public organizations, arguing that conflicting forms of knowledge may be found within the bureaucratic pyramid. Answering the question of why management reforms over the past century have failed on their own terms, this book examines the existence of conflicting forms of knowledge within public bureaucracies, how these contradictory perspectives interact (or fail to interact), and the ways in which these systems preserve managerial efforts to control workers. Authors Carnevale and Stivers argue that bureaucratic rationality is not the one best way, as Taylor promised, and indeed, there is no one best way or model that can be deployed in all situations. The bureaucratic pyramid can, however, be made more effective by paying attention to circular processes that are widespread within the hierarchy, the authors argue, describing such circular processes as facework. This book will serve as an ideal supplement to introductory public administration and organizational theory courses, as well as courses for mid-career professionals, helping to frame their work experiences.

Le management public connaît aujourd'hui des évolutions majeures, en adoptant des méthodes jusqu'alors traditionnellement réservées au secteur privé. Les cadres supérieurs du secteur public se doivent désormais de réfléchir en termes d'impact et de résultats afin de développer de façon sensible l'efficience de leur administration. Cette nouvelle gestion a fait ses preuves, grâce aux solutions innovantes qu'elle propose. Mais elle ne demeure possible que sur la base d'une structure organisationnelle flexible et d'un personnel qualifié et motivé. C'est afin de procurer aux cadres des institutions publiques l'ensemble des outils nécessaires à la mise en place d'une telle gestion que cet ouvrage a été conçu. Il expose et développe le concept IOP, proposant des instruments de management de l'innovation et de l'information (I), d'aménagement organisationnel (O), et de gestion du personnel (P). L'exposé est augmenté de six cas d'étude dans les secteurs administratif, scolaire et médical, et complété de nombreux cas pratiques, issus d'exemples français, suisses, allemands, autrichiens et danois. Ce manuel, devenu une référence en langue allemande, constituera une aide précieuse pour tous les cadres concernés, afin de leur permettre de mettre en oeuvre les réformes essentielles à leur administration, tant au niveau stratégique et structurel que culturel.
