Description
Book SynopsisThis is the new way of governing.
The time has come for the rise of the tech savvy executive: an individual who innately understands the need to help the use of technology rise at the same level across the entire organization. In Baltimore and in Maryland, Governor Martin O’Malley has done all of these things and more.
Smarter Government: How to Govern for Results in the Information Age is about a more effective way to lead that is emerging, enabled by the Information Age. It provides real solutions to real problems using GIS technology and helps develop a management strategy using data that will profoundly change an organization.

Trade Review"Featuring a two page listing of the contributors and their credentials, "Smarter Government: Governing for Results in the Information Age" is an impressively informative study that is unreservedly recommended for community, corporate, political think tank, college, and university library Contemporary Political Science collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists. Exceptionally well organized and presented, it should be noted for personal reading lists of students, academia, political activists, state and federal politicians, governmental policy makers and implementers, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject."
