Description
Book SynopsisIn a world where the human experience is increasingly overshadowed by diversity and danger and which is currently confronting the twin challenges of a global recession and pandemic, this book provides an insight into the fundamental idea of public value which represents the ‘humanisation’ of public policy and practice.
This edited volume brings together a unique set of experts from policy, commerce and academe who, in a series of case studies in the space, energy, tourism and higher education sectors, discuss how public value may be assessed, appreciated and articulated.
The book describes an approach to public value management for organisations working in complex networks. It focuses upon how they can appreciate their wider role and impact on society and accommodate diversity in new institutional structures.
Trade ReviewDr Wylie and his associates present a comprehensive and detailed guide and path forward for improving how public and private policy is prescribed, applied, and perhaps most importantly, appraised. Drawing on years and even decades of practice and reflection, this book is a culmination and distillation of lessons learned from many walks of life and sectors of society. For those who doubt we still can clarify and secure the common interest, this book will be both inspiring and a sure-footed guide.

There is a very poor understanding in practice of what 'Public Value' might actually mean let alone 'how' it might be assessed either before awarding and implementing or evaluating projects and public sector investment. Dr Wylie and his co-authors have made a major, and timely, contribution to the consideration and answering of these questions both from a policy and implementation perspectives.
