Creating Public Value by Mark H. Moore

Strategic Management in Government

This influential work explores the role of public managers in creating value for society, emphasizing the need for a strategic approach to public administration. It challenges traditional views by proposing that public managers should not only implement policies but also actively engage in shaping them to better serve the public interest. The book introduces the concept of the "strategic triangle," which includes the importance of defining public value, building legitimacy and support, and ensuring operational capacity. Through case studies and theoretical insights, it provides a framework for public managers to innovate and adapt in a rapidly changing environment, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness and accountability of public service.
