Managers Managing. The workings of an administrative system

This book is about the inner workings of an administrative system in the public sector, and is a study of what managers actually do. It looks at why they act in the ways they do, what influences their focus of attention, which issues or people within an organization attract them, and which they avoid. Its clarity of style and lack of academic jargon makes it accessible to non-specialists.
