| Abstract: | As governments and public service organizations across the globe engage in strategies of institutional and organizational change, it is up to date to examine current developments and future research agenda for public governance and management. This paper commences with reflections on the state of the field, based on an analysis of papers published in the British Journal of Management over the last decade. While some variation exists apparent across the set, the "typical" article was found to be influenced by the discipline of organizational behaviour, set within the health-care sector, using case-study methods within field-based studies, and investigating shifts in roles and relationships and the management of change. The next part of this article introduces the main themes addressed in the other articles in this special issue. The last part explores a possible research agenda for the future. |
