Sharing Information and Ideas
ADVERTISEMENT
Over the years, The Public Manager has been a forum for sharing techniques, tools, and perspectives on a wide range of practitioner challenges. In an effort to make it even more of a meeting place for open discussion of problems and their solutions—one where questions of public concern can be described, discussed, and debated—we want you, our readers, to share your views.
As we continue the design and construction of our new Web site, we will leverage the thoughts and capabilities of our authoritative audience on best practices and how we can share them using this platform. Through our Web site, we will make the journal more diverse and dynamic by encouraging, rapidly gathering, and disseminating a multiplicity of experiences and perspectives.
For seven years, A. C. Hyde and Hyong Yi offered "Views You Can Use," which focused on trends in public management. As these trends surfaced, we heard more about them in commentaries, from book reviews, and through short op-ed pieces that the editors either wrote themselves or drew from others’ work to broaden the reader’s perspective. Now that "Views" has come to a close (in spring 2005), we will look back on some of these trends to see just what materialized—especially at the frontlines of public management.
Over the next few months, we will ask you to share your frontline experiences, views on trends, and perspectives on other waves of change by weighing in on the The Public Manager Web site.
In the meantime and to get the dialogue rolling, let us know what you think are the key questions —or better yet—effective case illustrations of and solutions to the following array of topics. Also, let us know other public management topics that should be added to our list.
